[Gandalf_The_Grey]

The first half-year report of AV-Comparatives’ 2023 Enterprise main-test series containing a Real-World Protection, Malware Protection and Performance Test has been released. Product reviews are also included in the report.

The business and enterprise test report encompasses the test results from the first half of 2023, covering Real-World Protection, Malware Protection, Performance (Speed Impact), and False-Positives Tests. The report provides complete details of the testing methodologies and outcomes.

The test series evaluated endpoint security solutions from 16 leading vendors serving enterprise and SMB sectors. The vendors included are: Avast, Bitdefender, CISCO, CrowdStrike, Cybereason, Elastic, ESET, G Data, K7, Kaspersky, Microsoft, Sophos, Trellix, VIPRE, VMware, and WatchGuard.

With the rapidly evolving threat landscape, antivirus vendors face new and emerging challenges. The test report showcases how security products have adapted and enhanced their protection capabilities over the years.

Please note that the results of the Business Main-Test Series cannot be compared with the results of the Consumer Main-Test Series, as the tests are done at different times, with different sets, different settings, etc.

Curious (to me) that neither DeepInstinct or Checkpoint Harmony are not in this report, as they are both popular or being used here.

It's up to the company if it wants to be represented in those tests as far as I know

Why is there no checkpoint?

sure but 16 decide to be tested, "curious" is why Di & CP chose not to participate. Help them, hurt them, or non-issue...

The AV-Comparatives business test, like many other tests of theirs, is a joke. I don’t know why they still waste time struggling to perform tests instead of making their way to the local supermarket and checking-out purchases there. They will be more successful as cashiers.

The purpose of any EDR is to provide visibility. For visibility there are other tests such as this:

Note that this test does not compare EDRs to one another and it does not test for false positives.

I suggest anyone not to waste time with AVC.

Funny that in that test Checkpoint did worse than Bitdefender but only by 1 detection which was a encrypted C&C connection.

The test is not very difficult and is very much welcome for marketing reasons.
