ATP test: changed scenarios – variable results

The ATP test uses dangerous samples of ransomware and info stealers in every run. The attack techniques used also vary constantly. This is what makes comparing the test results of a product throughout the year so interesting. In the latest test with the malware using the bypass technique, some products had difficulties. In many cases, an attacker was detected, but could only be stopped in subsequent steps. Although this cost the product points in the test, the user and the company remained protected in a critical situation.

Only in very few instances did the security products not detect the attackers or fail to stop them after detection. This is manifested in the points tallied for in the protection score.

Nevertheless, it must be clearly stated: 7 products for consumer users and 13 solutions for corporate users excelled in all 10 attack scenarios with perfect threat prevention and were therefore deservedly awarded a full point score and test certificate.
