In each of the 10 scenarios, several solutions had their work cut out for them.

The Advanced Threat Protection tests from AV-TEST quickly reveal how well solutions are able to mount a defense against ransomware. In realistic scenarios, each defense and interception step carried out by the solutions is documented and evaluated. Many security products work well – but not all.

Unfortunately, the invulnerability of MacOS towards malware, such as ransomware and other threats, is and will remain a myth. The laboratory of AV-TEST examined 10 protection packages for consumer users and 4 security solutions for corporate users against new and nefarious malware. It is quickly apparent how effective the protection packages are when dealing with digital attackers. That is why a Mac without an installed protection package is potentially at risk.
