Real world test with 316 live cases
The Real-World Protection Test results published by AV-Comparatives are based on 316 live full-chain attack test cases, including working exploits and URLs pointing directly to malware. The test cases used cover a wide range of current malicious websites and underline the protection quality of different products. This AV Test by AV-Comparatives provides in-depth insights into the capabilities of 18 popular enterprise security products.
🔎 Only 1.005 products managed to recognize 3 samples (Image: AVC).
Detection of 1.005 samples at the endpoint
In addition to detection rates, the test also examines a product's ability to prevent a malicious program from making changes to the system. The test set used for this test consisted of 1.005 malware samples. To ensure that the tested programs do not protect the system at the expense of high false alarm rates, a false positive test is also carried out in the Malware Protection Test. The results of the false alarm test are also included in the fact sheet.
