AV-TEST Product Review and Certification Report – May-Jun/2020
During May and June 2020 we continuously evaluated 18 endpoint protection products using settings as provided by the vendor. We always used the most current publicly-available version of all products for the testing. They were allowed to update themselves at any time and query their in-the-cloud services. We focused on realistic test scenarios and challenged the products against real-world threats. Products had to demonstrate their capabilities using all components and protection layers.

In doing so, each defensive step was evaluated according to the pattern of the MITRE ATT&CK Matrix. The test shows that many products are true system defenders – whereas others are not.](/web/20220121110129im_/https://www.av-test.org/fileadmin/_processed_/c/9/csm_1121_Aufmacher_EPP_Privat_cbd6a3ecf9.jpg)
