About the DNS and Proxy Protection test
In November and December 2019, AV-TEST performed a review of Cisco cloud security solutions alongside comparable offerings from Akamai, Infoblox, Palo Alto Networks, Symantec and Zscaler.
In order to ensure a fair review, the research participants did not supply any samples (such as URLs or meta data) and did not influence or have any prior knowledge of the samples being tested. All products were configured to provide the highest level of protection, utilizing all security-related features available at the time.
The test focused on the detection rate of links pointing directly to PE malware (e.g. EXE files), links pointing to other forms of malicious files (e.g. html, Javascript) as well as phishing URLs. A total of 3,668 samples were included in the testing. For more information please visit AV-Test.
