INNSBRUCK, Austria,
Sept. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
AV-Comparatives, the globally recognized authority in independent
cybersecurity testing, has released its 2024 Endpoint Prevention
and Response (EPR) Comparative Report, showcasing the
exceptional performance of leading cybersecurity solutions. The
report evaluates the ability of these products to detect, prevent,
and respond to advanced threats in real-world scenarios.
AV-Comparatives' rigorous assessment covered products from
Bitdefender, Check Point, CrowdStrike, ESET, Kaspersky, Palo
Alto Networks, and VIPRE, measuring each against a broad
spectrum of complex attack vectors, such as PowerShell
Empire, Metasploit Framework, and Commercial Attack
Frameworks. The testing utilized the MITRE ATT&CK®
framework, ensuring that the results provide invaluable insights
for organizations looking to bolster their endpoint security.
Endpoint Protection Products (EPP), Endpoint Detection
and Response (EDR), and Extended Detection and Response
(XDR) solutions are vital components of enterprise security,
providing defenses against targeted threats such as advanced
persistent threats (APTs). AV-Comparatvies' Endpoint Prevention and
Response (EPR) Test is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of
these solutions in countering complex, multi-stage attacks that
target an organisation's entire infrastructure.
Top Performers (in alphabetically order):
- Bitdefender had strong detection and response
capabilities, delivering consistent protection across various
threat scenarios.
- Check Point demonstrated reliable and comprehensive
threat prevention, proving its effectiveness in mitigating complex
cyber risks.
- CrowdStrike delivered a strong performance, showing
reliable threat detection and response capabilities, ensuring
minimal disruption to operations.
- ESET provided well-rounded defense strategies,
particularly effective in handling advanced and emerging
threats.
- Kaspersky offered a robust set of protection tools,
proving reliable in both detection and prevention of targeted
attacks.
- Palo Alto Networks delivered a solid performance,
reinforcing its capabilities in proactive threat detection and
security innovation.
- VIPRE delivered efficient protection, providing reliable
defense mechanisms at a competitive cost.
These vendors achieved outstanding results by
demonstrating their ability to protect against and respond to
advanced persistent threats (APTs), ransomware, and other complex
cyberattacks. This year's evaluation highlighted their continual
evolution in response to the growing complexity of attack tactics,
techniques, and procedures (TTPs).
Comprehensive Evaluation
The testing spanned several months, from June to August 2024, with products undergoing assessments
in multiple phases, from Initial Access and Lateral Movement till
Exfiltration and Impact. Each product was tested in real-world
attack scenarios to simulate the high-stakes environments that
enterprises face today.
AV-Comparatives emphasized the importance of these
evaluations: "As cyberattacks grow more sophisticated, it is
critical for organizations to rely on solutions that can offer not
only prevention but also rapid and effective response capabilities.
Our 2024 EPR report serves as a benchmark for IT professionals and
cybersecurity analysts to assess and choose the most effective
cybersecurity solutions."
