The bottom-line findings revealed many products offering a strong defense against attackers and thus also many TOP PRODUCTS. There were only two solutions that didn't quite make the cut.

In its series of Advanced Threat Protection tests, the lab at AV-TEST evaluated 29 protection solutions for consumer users and corporate users against data stealers and ransomware. The object of this live attack test was to fend off 10 real-life attack scenarios under Windows. In doing so, in addition to detection of malware, each individual defensive step of a protection solution is important. In the recent December test, fortunately only a few attackers were successful in the scenarios.

The fight against ransomware is a two-front battle waged both on home PCs and corporate workstations. How well does security software protect against these diabolical encryption attackers? In the current November test, 15 Internet security suites for consumer users and 13 solutions for corporate users showed how well they stacked up in ten realistic scenarios against an attack via e-mail, script, macro or ransomware. The Advanced Threat Protection test proves that detection of the attacker alone is not always sufficient. That is why the lab clearly spells out in the test results all the steps, from the time the attack is launched until it is fended off – or until encryption occurs.
