The best known of any standards for firewalls is the certification program
run
by ICSA Labs. On their Web site you can find the
Firewall Certification Criteria.
Another standard used is the International Common Criteria for Information
Technology Security Evaluation. This
criteria
is used for all security products, not just firewalls. It is a culmination of
many years
of effort to harmonize the evaluation criteria of the U.S. with that of the
UK, Canada,
Germany and many other countries.
As for competing products, I'm assuming you are looking for a list of
firewall vendors. At the risk of leaving out some firewall vendors, a list
is below (in no particular order):
BorderWare Technologies
Check Point Software Technologies, Inc.
Cisco Systems, Inc.
Signal 9 Solutions
CyberGuard Corporation
Lucent Technologies
SLM (Milkyway) Networks Corporation

3Com Corporation
