SE Labs - Anti-malware vs. Ransomware: (April-June-2016)

[pc71520]

Ransomware is a nasty category of attack that we’ve seen dominating the so-called 'threat landscape' in recent months. It can affect every type of computer user including home users, small businesses and even extremely large enterprises. Anyone who stores valuable data on a computer is at risk of this digital extortion racket, which encrypts data files and offers the key to recovery for a hefty price.

 

Over the last three months we have been monitoring the threats that affect real users and businesses. We've used many of these attacks to test systems protected by a range of different security products, including some very well-known anti-malware programs.

 

Because we're seeing a lot of ransomware on the internet, and because we believe that testing security products should revolve around the significant threats out there (rather than the very obscure, rare ones), there was a large amount of

ransomware used in the test. We are proud to present the results of that work in these reports.

Dennis Technology Labs and former Chairman of the Board of the Anti-Malware Testing Standards Organization (AMTSO). He has been testing anti-malware and other security products since 1995 and published results for the first 'real-world' anti-malware test, which involved full end-to-end threat testing using internet-connected endpoints, inclusion of web-based exploits and full execution of malware.

 

Simon wrote the IEEE paper 'Four Fs of Anti-Malware Testing' and the Virus Bulletin paper 'Effectively Testing APT Defences' , which he presented at the VB Conference 2015 in Prague.

 

Constantly innovating, SE Labs has developed next-generation testing to prove the abilities of 'next-generation' security products using a comprehensive, full-stack approach to security assessment powered by true and detailed threat intelligence. Our end-to-end, targeted attack detection, protection and response testing is world class and capable of evaluating endpoint, appliance and cloud-based products and services.

 

SE Labs is a member of the Microsoft Virus Information Alliance (VIA) and the Anti-Malware Testing Standards Organization (AMTSO).

 

all this labs are working for the producers (get paid from them) = I notice the test results but you can't trust. Compare 5 test reports from different labs and if there is a product in the upper class in all of them use it.
