Our test lab subjected 14 protection products for consumers and corporate users to hundreds of extremely dangerous MacOS malware attacks on systems running Sonoma 14.6. The lab put all the security packages through tests in the categories of protection, performance and usability. And it was no easy task, as the various malware samples used in the test are some of the most malicious ones when it comes to current cyber threats. The products evaluated by the lab achieved top scores, with only a few exceptions, which leads to a noticeable increase in the security of MacOS systems.

Cyber attackers are constantly tweaking new attack techniques, honing existing ones or combining them into an attack wave. In the latest Advanced Threat Protection test (ATP), the experts from AV-TEST examined how well protection products detect and fend off the newly developed attacks. In the test lab, 6 products for consumer users and 8 solutions for corporate users demonstrated how well they can parry attacks. In the test, attackers with ransomware and info stealers harnessed the techniques of dynamic API resolution, DLL sideloading, PowerShell ScriptBlockAst command concealment, cloaking themselves in known Windows tools. The test indicates that some protection products are hard put to deal with the attack techniques and cannot always withstand the attacks.

Many consumer users don't see themselves as being in the crosshairs of cybergangsters. A major fallacy: because attackers are constantly foraging for interesting data, passwords or e-mail log-in details. This also includes entire Windows systems, as attacking botnets are always on the lookout for new PCs to enslave. In the latest endurance test over 6 months, 13 security products show how well they go the distance in protecting systems.
