New PIVOT Testing Model Launched by SE Labs with Major Vendor Participation

• •SE Labs launches PIVOT evaluation program with major cybersecurity vendors.
• •The program aims to provide comparative evidence for enterprise buyers.
• •First public results will be available in early 2027.

SE Labs has launched its PIVOT evaluation program, featuring participation from major cybersecurity vendors including Broadcom, CrowdStrike, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, and Sophos. This initiative aims to provide comparative evidence for enterprise buyers by illustrating attack scenarios, the effectiveness of security products, and the visibility available to defenders. The evaluation comes as several leading vendors have withdrawn from the MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK Evaluations, which has reduced the volume of technical evaluation data in the industry. PIVOT seeks to enhance understanding of how security products perform during attacks, identifying successes and failures in protection. The first public results will be released in early 2027, offering detailed findings and a comparative analysis of the participating products. Simon Edwards, CEO of SE Labs, emphasizes the importance of understanding the implications of security testing results. The program aims to provide independent evidence without requiring buyers to solely trust SE Labs' conclusions.
