ICANN News Alert -- Survey of IPv6 Availability on Commercial Firewalls

[Baudouin SCHOMBE]

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.
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.

I support Amodio's proposal.

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