AV-Comparatives Publishes Comprehensive Enterprise Cybersecurity Test Report for 17 Leading Business Security Solutions

AV-Comparatives, an esteemed independent security testing organization with ISO certification, proudly announces the release of its much-awaited 2024 H1 Enterprise Security Test Report. This detailed report offers a thorough comparative analysis of endpoint security solutions tailored for businesses and enterprises, serving as a crucial resource for IT managers and CISOs.

As the threat landscape continually evolves, antivirus vendors face the challenge of continuously improving and adapting their security products. The 2024 H1 Enterprise Security Test Report highlights how these security solutions have adapted to new threats, thereby enhancing protection over time.

This extensive report includes test results from the first half of 2024, covering various aspects of endpoint security solutions. It evaluates key testing categories such as Real-World Protection, Malware Protection, Performance (Speed Impact), False-Positives Tests, and provides product descriptions, offering a comprehensive overview of each product’s capabilities.

In this series, endpoint security solutions for enterprises and SMBs from 17 leading vendors were rigorously tested, including: Avast, Bitdefender, CISCO, CrowdStrike, Elastic, ESET, G Data, K7, Kaspersky, Microsoft, NetSecurity, Rapid7, SenseOn, Sophos, Trellix, VIPRE, and VMware.

The report details the findings from four critical test categories:

1. Real-World Protection Test: This extensive, long-term test, spanning four months, evaluates how well endpoint protection software defends against Internet-borne threats.
   
2. Malware Protection Test: This assessment requires the products to detect and neutralize malicious programs that could potentially infiltrate company systems via the local network or external drives.
   
3. Performance Test: This test ensures that the security products offer robust protection without compromising system speed and efficiency.
   
4. False Alarm Test: Conducted alongside each protection test, this evaluation checks that the endpoint protection software does not produce excessive false alarms (false positives), which can be particularly disruptive in business environments.
   

The report also includes brief descriptions of each product. The full report can be accessed here: https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/bu...march-june

Ultimately, the July 2024 Business Report by AV-Comparatives provides IT managers and CISOs with a detailed and insightful overview of the strengths and weaknesses of the tested products. With this information, they can make informed decisions about which security solutions best meet their specific needs and business requirements.

Based in Innsbruck, Austria, AV-Comparatives has been conducting public security software testing since 2004. The lab is ISO 9001:2015 certified for “Independent Tests of Anti-Virus Software” and holds EICAR certification as a “Trusted IT-Security Testing Lab.”
