AV-Comparatives Releases Endpoint Prevention and Response (EPR) Test 2024 Results

AV-Comparatives is excited to announce the release of its 2024 Endpoint Prevention and Response (EPR) Test results. This year’s test, known for its comprehensive and highly challenging nature, evaluated some of the industry’s top EPR solutions, focusing on both prevention and response to real-world cyber threats.

For the 2024 test, Bitdefender, Check Point, CrowdStrike, ESET, Kaspersky, Palo Alto Networks, and VIPRE achieved certification, each demonstrating exceptional performance in the face of evolving cyberattack tactics. We congratulate for their certification in this year’s rigorous assessment. Certification signifies that a product has met or exceeded the high standards set by AV-Comparatives in preventing and responding to complex cyber threats.

The test evaluated not only the effectiveness of each solution in preventing breaches but also considered critical factors such as total cost of ownership, operational and accuracy costs, and the potential financial impact of a breach. These results provide invaluable insights for enterprises seeking solutions that can balance top-tier cybersecurity with cost-efficiency.

The Importance of EPR Solutions in Today’s Threat Landscape

As cyberattacks become increasingly sophisticated, enterprises face growing threats from adversaries targeting their systems for purposes such as industrial espionage, sabotage, or financial gain. Endpoint Prevention and Response (EPR) solutions play a crucial role in mitigating these threats, enabling organizations to detect, respond to, and recover from security breaches.

Comprehensive and Real-World Testing

AV-Comparatives’ EPR Test is one of the most challenging in the industry, simulating real-world attack scenarios inspired by Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups and mapped to a range of MITRE ATT&CK® techniques. This rigorous approach ensures that certified solutions have demonstrated their ability to protect against advanced threats in conditions that closely mirror actual attack situations.

Vendors were not informed in advance about the timing or specifics of the test scenarios, which further ensured that the assessment remained as realistic as possible. Each solution’s ability to prevent, detect, and respond to various stages of the attack chain was tested, from initial breach attempts to potential data exfiltration.
