Software Review Cylance Smart Antivirus 2018 Bypassed

Reviews reflect the reviewer's setup and methods. Check the evidence and limitations.
Speaking of Cylance A.I.. I noticed the author of this video is the developer of XyWall AntiMalware which claims to have A.I heuristics and uses VirusTotal. Anyone ever use this program before? I tried it out in a VM for only a couple minutes, it has a high detection (and false positive rate). WD detected it as a trojan right away so I ditched it shortly after.

Back to the topic, it seems only CIS was able to prevent this ransomware in the author's test series. The title of the video says bypass but the file was run outside containment on the second try. The takeaway from this video is that some malware won't reveal their true intentions in a sandbox and can surprise the user if they run the file with unlimited access.

CIS and probably Spyshelter will be able to prevent it.

Or he fakes results if he is calling pressing run unlimited as bypass. lol
 
It probably won't be safe once that system clock disappears and the tester disables key protection fetures.

If the KyRox sample can run on the real system, then of course it isn't safe.

Properly configured and used SRP will just block the execution of KyRox unless the tester overtly allows it to run.
 
I think Cylance with AppCheck and a strong Group Policy config would be a great signature free combination that can do most of the job. If I ever get tired of Kaspersky, I might switch to that or maybe set up someone else's computer with that combo.
