Ryan Cole is a CISSP-certified security researcher with twenty years of experience in enterprise IT security, most recently as a systems engineer at a mid-sized financial services firm. He holds CCNA and CISSP certifications and spends too much of his personal time reading through VPN audit reports and antivirus detection benchmarks.
247plan is where he puts the research to use. The reviews compare products on the numbers that matter (detection rates, audit history, real pricing across renewal cycles) instead of the features on the homepage.
