An Internet security suite provides full system protection, employing all available protection technologies. But what about the self-protection of the system protectors? Do they use protection technologies such as DEP and ASLR for their own use? AV-TEST examined 32 applications to find out.

Nice info.
I think enforces the idea of 'layered security' as one Suite can't do everything 100%
There are many who use EMET which covers these layers as well as MBAE, as added agents of security. :)
