SE Labs announces comparative breach response testing

The next phase in our Breach Response test is to start comparing products. There has been high demand for comparative testing since we first proposed our Breach Response test back in 2016. Clients really want to see breach response products compared.

Comparing products in the Breach Response test

For the last few years our Breach Response reports have been of standalone products.

The first milestone is this summer, when we will be running a private comparative test of products. Comparatives in this space are few and far between. Good ones are even rarer. Therefore we have taken very prudent steps towards this goal over the last couple of years. We plan to publish a public comparative report in the first half of 2022.

Understand what a real hacking attack looks like to the attacker and defenders

The IT security world is rocked by news of breach after breach, including the shocking disclosure of the SolarWinds attack. Data is stolen, deleted or corrupted and… well you know. It’s a total mess. Journalists focus on basic outcomes, while technical blogs look at esoteric technical details. We’ve explained, in laymen’s terms, what a breach looks like from an attacker’s point of view. And from the position of the defenders.

If an EDR solution can spot an attack, why doesn’t it stop it too?

SE Labs tested Crowdstrike Falcon in this Breach Response test, pitting it against a range of hacking attacks designed to compromise systems.

This month shattered any doubt that intrusion detection technology is necessary. Large companies and other organisations that rely on compromised technology from IT management firm SolarWinds are racing to discover possible breaches.

Testing anti-breach products needs the full chain of attack.

Kaspersky Lab should be congratulated, not only for engaging with this new and challenging test, but for submitting a product that performed so strongly against attacks that closely replicate advanced, nation-state level threats.

Its endpoint detection and response offering, Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform, is one of the very first to face our brand new Breach Response Test and it detected all of the attacks, while protecting against the vast majority of them.
