2026 has been a turbulent year for companies, with global crises, attacks on the supply chains, ransomware attacks and AI-powered cyberattacks, making the need for a security solution all the more pertinent.

The products needed to detect and fend off nearly 25,000 malware samples, some of which were brand new. In addition, the test experts evaluated how the solutions handle false alarms and affect system performance.
