This is why security mono-culture is dangerous and it's in our interest to maintain a diverse ecosystem of security vendors in every area. Security is hard and anyone can have a serious vulnerability.

I'll still take 1-2 vendors that actually have security as a top priority over a variety of vendors that care plenty about features and detection rates but not about actually hardening their code.
