The waves of attacks with ransomware are becoming more and more frequent, especially given the fact that now there is Ransomware-as-a-Service, allowing even non-techie cybercriminals to also join in the attacks. Can the latest security solutions on the market for corporate users and consumer users withstand the onslaughts? 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.
