 Not necessarily, it really just means that the vendor spent the $$ to
 go through the process.

 On the other hand, the ICSA standard pretty much codifies best practices
 so if the firewall that you are using isn't capable of doing the things
 that the standard defines (and configured to actually do them), then
 its probably not that effective.
