[QUOTE="ExecutiveOrder, post: 960209, member: 93099"] If this test is also quite specific to APT attacks like AV-Comparatives "Enhanced Real World" test, Kaspersky is also ahead compared to others, while something like Microsoft chose to opt-out, but the difference isn't like this 'weird' (0%, 21%, 36%, 50%, 86%, 100%). What about Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud which was used in the test? It's intended for IT admin to manage organizational protection unlike KSOS non-IT admin and protection monitoring ([I]install and forget[/I]). I think it's still quite similar but not as similar as KSOS to consumer products. AV-Test claims that "three assessment scenarios were [B]independently developed and executed[/B] by the test lab", "results were [B]independently verified[/B]", and "[B]samples were selected independently[/B], right before the test execution from real-time sources". But for me, it still smells like ocean saltwater. AV-Test regarding "expected requirements" including roll-back specifically for encrypted user files: I also believe this causes a wide gap in protection rate because this is about ransomware and its impact on user files, it is just like testing malware protection with only "protection clusters/groups" without an overall "protection rate" (AV-Comparatives did use a table of comprehensive protection rate across different scenarios in general "Malware Protection Test" though is not ransomware-specific test. Not sure if other vendors were notified about this prior to the test (or even prior preparation of the test from December 2020) and have a chance to opt-out like AV-Comparatives brand new (performed twice since 2019) APT test, not all "Business Windows Client" vendor were here (11 vendors of 18 total in latest AV-Test certification report). If not, I really want to hear what they think and really wish this kind of special test will be performed at least annually by AV-Test without the need for a commission or request from a certain vendor in the future.
