NSS Labs was an independent analysis and testing company recognized for its fact-based cybersecurity guidance.
Based in Austin, Texas, the company tested security products protecting networks, data centers and endpoints for security effectiveness, evasions, performance, stability and usability.
NSS Labs ceased operations on October 15, 2020. CyberRatings.org has since reached an agreement with the custodians of NSS Labs to acquire the assets of their library. This website is home to test reports and research published from 2013 – 2020.
CyberRatings.org is providing library access at no charge.
