In an ongoing race against cybercriminals, security vendors need to constantly maintain the upper hand in order to sustainably guarantee the security of data for both consumer users and corporate users. The Advanced Threat Protection test from AV-TEST relies on detailed individual tests to examine whether the vendors are able to detect and defend against the latest, most sophisticated cyberattacks. Twenty-five products were evaluated on Windows systems in this test using ten scenarios to simulate ransomware and data stealer attacks on the systems. Special attacking techniques such as reflective code loading and fileless malware, which challenge modern security algorithms as they have to detect dangerous lines of code or scripts, were used. The outcome of the testing shows that overall the security products can defend their leading position; however, some products do not have all attack steps under control.
