Concludes SASE Certification Program with Mplify
CyberRatings.org announced a strategic realignment of its testing initiatives to better reflect the accelerating pace of innovation and threat evolution in the cybersecurity market. As part of this reassessment and following the completion of its three-year agreement, CyberRatings.org (CyberRatings) will no longer certify products on behalf of Mplify (formerly MEF).
The agreement, signed in 2023, was intended to support the launch of a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Certification Program for Mplify’s technology and service provider members worldwide, aligned with Mplify’s first SASE standard and Zero Trust framework. Certification was to be based on CyberRatings methodologies and test programs, with report card data and ratings included in Mplify’s certification registry.

While the official partnership concludes, the shared objective remains aligned: to promote transparency, strengthen security capabilities, and improve organizations’ ability to protect themselves.
