Not only that but the expectation that you can keep your AV vendor a secret is ridiculous. Especially with tens of thousands of employees having a system tray icon in direct view and hundreds to thousands of techs expected to be able to install/re-install said software. Not to mention the fact that big contracts with AV/security vendors are usually public knowledge and easily accessible. Heck, they probably have press releases indexed by Duck Duck Go!
