Amodio's proposal seems to me relevant. The consumers or end
users account for overall about 80% of customers of all digital technology products.
It would be convenient and even informative to have objective
statistics about their preoccupations concerning multiple numerical products of
which they make use daily. <br>I note in my opinion that regularly we
assist a aggresive and burning marketing of several products not giving
the choice to consumers or to end users to make a critical
analysis.

And what about consumers/end users ? I think it would be nice if ICANN<br>
also funds a similar survey for consumer grade CPE (Customer Premises<br>
Equipment).<br>
<br>
What's the opinion of other NCSG members about this subject ?<br>

Survey of IPv6 Availability on Commercial Firewalls<br>
<br>
1 March 2010<br>
<br>
ICANN's Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) is conducting<br>
a survey of the commercial firewall market to obtain information<br>
relating to IPv6 security service availability. The purpose of this<br>
survey is to update and compare the results against a similar survey<br>
SSAC conducted in October 2007, see Survey of IPv6 Support Among<br>
Commercial Firewalls [SAC 021<br>
<a href="http://www.icann.org/en/committees/security/sac021.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.icann.org/en/committees/security/sac021.pdf</a>] [PDF, 236 KB].<br>
<br>
The initial survey invited vendors of commercial firewalls to answer<br>
certain questions:<br>
<br>
* How broadly is IPv6 transport supported by commercial firewalls?<br>
* Is IPv6 support available from commercial firewalls for all market segments?<br>
* Which commonly used security enforcement features can be deployed<br>
from commercial firewalls when IPv6 transport is used?<br>
* Can an organization enforce a security policy from commercial<br>
firewalls when using IPv6 that is commensurate to a policy currently<br>
supported when IPv4 is used?<br>
<br>
SSAC invites vendors to assist in updating that survey for 2010.<br>
<br>
Unlike the 2007 survey, SSAC will also invite business users of<br>
commercial firewalls to answer a similar set of questions:<br>
<br>
* Are user organizations that have adopted IPv6 using commercial<br>
firewalls to protect their networks?<br>
* What features are user organizations employing when they deploy<br>
firewalls in IPv6 networks?<br>
* Are user organizations finding that the security services they used<br>
at IPv4 firewalls are available for IPv6 transport as well?<br>
* Are user organizations satisfied that commercial firewalls can<br>
enforce the same security policy whether IPv6 or IPv4 transport is<br>
used?<br>
<br>
As was the case for the 2007 survey, SSAC will analyze and publish<br>
aggregated responses. We will aggregate and analyze vendor results<br>
separately from user organization responses. We will compare the 2010<br>
vendor responses against the 2007 responses to measure how<br>
availability has changed since the first survey.<br>
<br>
Vendors and business users of commercial firewalls are invited to<br>
participate in the survey online at:<br>
<a href="http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/?p=WEB22A9WG4UQWG" target="_blank">http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/?p=WEB22A9WG4UQWG</a><br>
<br>
Vendors, please consider providing an email address. (We ask you to<br>
provide an email address as the final question of the vendor survey.)<br>
SSAC will not share this email address but will use it to contact you<br>
should we have questions related to survey responses for your<br>
products.<br>
<br>
User organizations (Businesses)<br>
<br>
We are asking persons responsible for the administration<br>
(configuration) of the commercial firewalls to participate in the<br>
survey. "Businesses" thus includes all non-exclusively personal use<br>
commercial firewalls. Small and medium businesses, large corporations,<br>
service providers, online merchants, broadband access providers, are<br>
all invited to participate. For our purposes, teleworkers and<br>
self-employed individuals who use commercial firewalls and administer<br>
the firewall themselves are also invited to participate.<br>
<br>
The survey will be open for participation until 1 May 2010.<br>
