AV-Comparatives publishes long-term test reports for 19 leading endpoint security solutions for companies. The enterprise cybersecurity test combines the results of the test from the first half of 2021.

AV-Comparatives has just published the first half-year report of its Cybersecurity Business Main-Test series. This state-of-the-art test in the field of cybersecurity for companies combines the results of the Business Real-World Protection Test, the Business Malware Protection Test, the Business Performance Test and an overview of the usability and detailed product reviews.

19 business cybersecurity products put to the test

AV-Comparatives, a globally recognized test institute for security software, is proud to publish the first half-year report of the Business Main test series for 2021. No fewer than 19 business cybersecurity products were examined in this test series, which consists of a real-world protection test, a malware protection test and a business speed impact test.

The threat landscape is evolving rapidly and presenting manufacturers of antivirus solutions with new challenges. The test report shows how security products have adapted to these and improved protection over the years.

Different test scenarios

The real-world protection test mimics online malware attacks that typical business users are exposed to. The malware protection test is based on the assumption that the malware is already present on the hard drive or has entered the test system via removable media or the LAN. Finally, the Speed ​​Impact Test evaluates the impact of each tested product on system performance. False positive testing has also been conducted to prevent legitimate software from being identified as harmful by the products.

The following business products have been tested under Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit

• Acronis Cyber ​​Protect Cloud with Advanced Security pack
• Avast Business Antivirus Pro Plus
• Bitdefender GravityZone Elite
• Cisco Secure Endpoint Essentials
