New Independent Tests of Endpoint Protection Reveal Significant Differences in Performance and Efficacy
The latest Tolly Report showcases
Occurring in a fully updated Windows® 10 environment, the testing was conducted both online, where the endpoints were cloud-connected, and offline, where the Internet connections of all the endpoints were disabled, forcing the endpoints to rely only on local information when examining the malware. Tolly tested CylanceENDPOINT, Microsoft (Defender for Business), SentinelOne (Singularity), BitDefender (GravityZone Business, Ultra), and another leader, "Vendor C," which was not publicly disclosed.
The testing looked at the following:
- Detection rates for malware based on an in-market set of 1,000 publicly sourced malware samples
- CPU utilization during the scanning of the samples
CylanceENDPOINT detected up to 25 percent more threats, with up to eight times less system impact, than the cohort, highlighting the difference in the real-world protection outcomes produced by various defensive AI models.
"It's clear that AI-equipped adversaries are iterating faster to launch more attacks at an increasing rate. In fact, we've seen more than a doubling in the rate of novel attacks in the past few quarters. Many organizations are struggling to keep up with tech stacks that are biased toward manual detection. So it's more important than ever to have objective testing for how well different models stack up when it comes to proactive defense." said
In addition to the Tolly results, CylanceENDPOINT has continuously demonstrated some of the lowest false positives in the industry and supports the widest range of modern and legacy operating systems, whether they are network-connected or not.
"A big takeaway from the results is that all of the tested vendors rely on a network connection back to a central service in order to defend against attacks. CylanceENDPOINT detected nearly 100% of malware, whether online or offline." Krishnan highlighted.
