[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 960156, member: 83059"] Two things strike me about this test: POC ransomware would be mostly a behavior blocker test and it’s not surprising that KSW is one of the best in the industry. Some of the poor performers like ESET, Microsoft Defender, and Symantec are not super surprising as they’ve not done well against most other proof of concept samples either. This requirement around rolling back user files is a key feature of KSW and I don’t believe many of the other products support a rollback mechanism. I suspect this is where a lot of other behavior blockers lost points. Enterprise ransomware attacks tend to be challenging because the point of entry and lateral traversal tends to be harder to identify. On your home computer, pretty much everything untrusted will arrive through your web browser or a removable drive and security products are tuned to be extra paranoid about that. In an enterprise setup there’s simply too many ways to inject new files into endpoints and most tend to be legitimate. Symantec’s forums show more complaints about legit login PowerShell scripts getting blocked than anything else. [/QUOTE]
