AV-Comparatives Tested Advanced Threat Protection of 21 Consumer and Enterprise IT Security Solutions for Endpoints CEP / EEP – Simulation of Full-Chain Attacks
INNSBRUCK, Austria, Nov 30, 2022, /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--
AV-Comparatives has released the results of 18 consumer and enterprise security
products from its 2022 Advanced Threat Protection Test
“Our test results show that the best security programs are very effective at
preventing targeted attacks, and that more and more vendors are improving their
products in order to combat them.”— Peter Stelzhammer, co-founder,
AV-Comparatives
The Advanced Threat Protection Test is an add-on test on top of the
AV-Comparatives' Main Test Series, which includes the Malware Protection Test,
Real-World Protection Test, and Performance Test and checks each security
product’s ability to protect a computer against targeted attacks, which are
known as “advanced persistent threats” (APTs).
These are complex, multi-stage attacks that are aimed at a specific individual
or organisation. Whilst the majority of such attacks may be ultimately aimed at
infiltrating enterprise networks, an obvious means of doing this is to target
the personal computers of staff members within the organisation. Additionally,
cybercriminals may launch targeted attacks against individuals for other
reasons. This means that protection against such attacks should be provided by
consumer security programs, as well as corporate endpoint protection software.
All the tested products, consumer and enterprise, had to defend against 15
different complex targeted attacks.
Tested enterprise endpoint security products include:
Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud with Advanced Security Pack; Avast Ultimate
Business Security; Bitdefender GravityZone Business Security Premium;
CrowdStrike Falcon Pro; ESET PROTECT Entry with ESET PROTECT Cloud; G Data
Endpoint Protection Business; Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business – Select
with KSC; Microsoft Defender Antivirus for Business; VMware Carbon Black Cloud
Endpoint Standard.
All the enterprise products listed above blocked at least eight out of fifteen
advanced attacks, and so received AV-Comparatives’ ATP Enterprise Certification.
Tested consumer security products include:
Avast Free Antivirus; AVG Antivirus Free; Avira Prime; Bitdefender Internet
Security; ESET Internet Security; G Data Total Security; Kaspersky Internet
Security; McAfee Total Protection; Microsoft Defender Antivirus.
Of these 9 products, seven products reached either the ADVANCED or the
ADVANCED+ rating.
AV-Comparatives’ Advanced Threat Protection Test uses a variety of different
attack scenarios, which the tested programs must defend against. Targeted
attacks employ various techniques to avoid detection by security software.
These include file-less attacks, code obfuscation, and the use of legitimate
operating-system tools. Disguising malicious code also makes it hard for a
security program to recognise it. The misuse of legitimate system programs for
malicious purposes also makes it easier for cybercriminals to stay under the
radar of security measures.
In the Advanced Threat Protection Tests, AV-Comparatives uses hacking and
penetration techniques that allow attackers to access internal computer
systems. All tests use a subset of the TTP (Tactics, Techniques, Procedures)
listed in the MITRE ATT&CK® framework. A false alarm test is also included in
the reports.

Threat Protection Test for enterprise products can be downloaded free of charge
