The applaudable transparency displayed by Check Point, ESET, Kaspersky, and Palo Alto Networks — four of the twelve vendors subjected to the testing — gives a rare peek into the dynamic realm of cyber defense. Their commitment extends beyond product offering; it advocates for a secure, informed digital landscape, leading others to join this open dialogue and continual improvement process. Their spirit of openness has not only earned them trust among users but also raised the bar within the industry.
