ATP endurance test over 6 months

[foxtigerjungle 2]

Hi,

ESET doesn't do quite as well here. Windows Defender is surprisingly in first place. Can ESET improve the product based on these results?

Greetings

The second group with 2 tests consisted of 8 products. These included the manufacturers G Data, McAfee, Microworld, Norton, PC Matic each with 70 out of 70 possible points. Thus, they detected and fended off all 20 attacks in the 2 tests.

This group also included Avira, ESET and F-Secure. While the packages detected all the attackers, they had occasional problems in the subsequent defensive measures.

based on the article,

some products were tested for 6 months (3tests), other 4 months (2tests) and other 2 months (1test). thus you cannot compare 3tests participants to 2tests participants.

I wouldn't be too concerned about Eset performance in this test. The commercial product scored high;

ATP endurance test result: 17 corporate user solutions

The second group with 2 tests of company products consisted of 8 packages. In the evaluation, all solutions each detected 20 attacks on the systems. The products from ESET, HP Security, both versions from Kaspersky, Qualys, Symantec and WithSecure all received the maximum achievable 70 points for their protection score.

Only Microsoft Defender Antivirus Enterprise lost a point in the test, achieving 69 points.

which is applicable to ATP attacks. These threat actors are interested in high value targets; not home users.

To quote an old trusism, "The devil is in the detail." Let's review in detail the individual consumer set tests.

Eset did not participate in this test set. Question is why?

However, Bitdefender which is supposedly know for excellent ransomware protection, well ..........

It was not a good test day for Bitdefender. At first, an info stealer was not recognized and was not thwarted over the course of the test. Data was stolen accordingly and the first 4 points were lost. Moreover, in two cases, the attackers with ransomware were detected but not completely stopped. Although other defense mechanisms took effect, individual files were ultimately encrypted in 2 scenarios.

While the protection package from ESET received 30 out of 35 points, in the end it was defeated by ransomware, despite detection of the attack – the data was encrypted! In an additional instance, an info stealer was able to proliferate, despite detection, but it was held up in later steps by an internal protection technique.

Whereas I am not surprised by the ransomware miss, Eset needs to do more work here in their consumer products.

Perfect detection score by Eset.
