on security

Security products for consumer users and corporate users are faced with a formidable task. They have to protect systems around the clock and deal with the latest threats. Sometimes the products detect the attackers immediately – but sometimes only in a further defensive step. This is precisely the aspect examined by the Advanced Threat Protection test. In this endurance test, 31 products show how well they not only detect attackers but also how effectively they defend Windows 10 systems. The result is exciting and reveals some unforeseen surprises.

In addition to phishing attacks, hackers and APT groups mostly use ransomware or info stealers for attacking Windows systems. The comprehensive Advanced Threat Protection test demonstrates the fact that even after initial non-detection of an attacker, all is not lost. In this test series, the experts from AV-TEST evaluate in a step-by-step test in 10 rugged scenarios what the protection solutions are capable of – or what they are not capable of. In the latest test, the malware samples unleashed attacks with special techniques. They were concealed in scripts and installation packets or they capitalized on harmless-looking Windows shortcut files. Most of the 17 protection products for consumers and corporate users put up a vigorous and successful defense. But individual products were outsmarted in a few cases.
