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.”
