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.

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.
