We reviewed the leading M365 backup platforms on workload coverage, recovery granularity, and how well they handle eDiscovery requests alongside standard data restoration. Native M365 tooling does not replace what these platforms deliver.
We reviewed the leading ZTNA platforms on identity-aware access enforcement, the granularity of application segmentation, and how well each handles policy enforcement for unmanaged devices accessing corporate resources.
We reviewed the leading enterprise VPN platforms on encryption architecture, concurrent connection performance, and the administrative controls that let security teams enforce access policy across a distributed workforce.
We reviewed 10 phishing awareness training platforms on simulation quality, content engagement, and the reporting that tells you which employees remain your highest risk. Click rates alone are not enough.
We reviewed the leading vulnerability management platforms on the accuracy and coverage of scanning, how well risk scoring reflects real-world exploitability rather than theoretical severity, and the remediation workflows that help teams close exposures at pace.
We reviewed the leading browser isolation platforms on the fidelity of the isolation environment, how well DLP policies hold up for downloads and uploads, and the performance trade-offs that determine whether employees will actually use the solution.
We reviewed 9 UEM platforms on the range of device types and operating systems they manage consistently, the depth of application lifecycle controls, and the policy enforcement that applies uniformly across corporate and personally-owned devices.
