AV-Comparatives Publishes World's Largest Independent Enterprise Cybersecurity Solution Test
17 Top-Tier Enterprise EPP, EDR, and XDR Solutions Evaluated in the Most Comprehensive ISO 9001:2015-Certified Public Assessment to Date INNSBRUCK, Austria, July 21, 2025 /CNW/ -- AV-Comparatives, the globally recognised authority in independent cybersecurity testing, has released its Enterprise Security Test 2025 (March to June). This is the most extensive public evaluation to date of enterprise endpoint protection platforms (EPP), endpoint detection and response (EDR), and extended detection and response (XDR) solutions. Seventeen high-performing enterprise-grade cybersecurity products were rigorously evaluated using real-world attack simulations and scientifically sound methodologies, offering a comprehensive view of modern endpoint defence capabilities. The report includes individual product descriptions that outline key strengths and capabilities to help IT decision-makers select the most suitable solution based on their organisation's size, infrastructure, and security priorities. What Sets This Test Apart? Unmatched Scope: This is the largest public comparative test of enterprise EPP, EDR, and XDR solutions globally. Only mature, high-performing products were included. These had already demonstrated consistent reliability and strong protection in previous assessments. Holistic Analysis: Each product was evaluated across four mission-critical dimensions: Real-World Protection: Simulates internet-based threats encountered in active business environments. Malware Protection: Evaluates detection of malicious files introduced via non-web vectors such as USB drives, network shares, or those already present on disk. False Positive Rates: Measures detection accuracy and the ability to avoid blocking legitimate software. Performance Impact: Quantifies system load and slowdowns during typical business operations. To support enterprise IT leaders, the report includes an extensive feature matrix (page 57) detailing the core and advanced capabilities of each tested solution. This includes management interfaces, deployment models, threat response tools, and third-party integration support, helping organisations make informed side-by-side comparisons. All evaluated products represent enterprise-ready solutions that meet modern protection standards. Each product received the AV-Comparatives Approved Enterprise Product Seal, recognising their proven security effectiveness, operational reliability, and readiness for large-scale deployment. Peter Stelzhammer, co-founder of AV-Comparatives, commented: "CISOs and IT leaders face complex, fast-evolving threats. Independent validation is not a luxury – it is essential. This test series provides evidence-based insights into how EPP, EDR, and XDR solutions perform in the field. We apply strict, scientifically grounded methodologies to help enterprises choose wisely." AV-Comparatives' enterprise test series is ISO 9001:2015 certified for the scope of Independent Tests of Cybersecurity Solutions. It is globally trusted by CISOs, analysts, and IT leaders as the benchmark for unbiased, rigorous cybersecurity evaluation.

ESET receives prestigious Anti-Tampering Certification for the second time - Middle East Business News and Information
ESET, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, is proud to announce that its ESET PROTECT Elite cloud solution has passed AV-Comparatives' rigorous Anti-Tampering Test, certifying its power to protect against tampering attacks that could result in permanent, temporary, partial or complete loss of product functionality. Usually, once a cybercriminal compromises a network/machine, staying under the radar is mission critical. This is best achieved by eliminating endpoint security software, likely by using compromised credentials to access the network and then using legitimate tools as much as possible (living off the land). This is tampering, and it can lead to major security disasters if it is not protected against. Regarding anti-tampering, ESET excelled in tests as far back as 2014 and 2015, when independent testing found ESET's consumer offering 100% successful in preventing tampering attacks, a major milestone compared to the 32 other participating vendors. The same was confirmed in business products in 2023, when AV-Comparatives awarded ESET PROTECT Entry the highest degree of approval, affirming ESET's continuous focus on products that are secure-by-design. In testing this year, ESET PROTECT Elite received acclaim for its top-notch anti-tampering security, with AV-Comparatives highlighting its password protected settings as a very relevant functionality. Besides that, the solution excelled in mitigating against registry key, DLL, file system and even kernel driver manipulation, among others. This shows that our protection agent is qualified to defend against a vast array of attacks and techniques known to tamper with key processes. These anti-tampering capabilities are applied across all advanced ESET PROTECT tiers, including our XDR-enabling component, ESET Inspect. 'If a security tool can be tampered with, it's not a security tool — it's a vulnerability. At ESET, we take that principle seriously. We strive to deliver the highest level of protection, and anti-tampering has been one of our core defenses against hacking attempts for many years. In fact, it's been over a decade since we pioneered several technologies specifically designed to safeguard our software from manipulation — making us one of the first vendors to do so. We're proud that AV-Comparatives has recognized that our commitment to this crucial functionality remains strong and relevant,' said Zuzana Legáthová, Director of Test, Analyst Relations and Market Research. For any endpoint security solution, independent testing done by analysts is how a product receives professional acclaim and certification proving its expert competence. With Anti-Tampering becoming increasingly relevant in view of novel sophisticated threats such as EDR killers, it's crucial for any business to seek a solution that can fill security gaps that might not be so obvious, such as the integrity of the product itself.
