[QUOTE="Victor M, post: 1050640, member: 96560"] WD for Biz is not worth it. It relies on the same WD anti-malware that came with Windows. It can do some hardening things, and it gives a risk score. And also it has pretty diagrams. But the diagrams don't reveal enough; there was an initial powershell test that demonstrates that it is working, and it says it executed 2 processes. But it doesn't tell me what those 2 processes are. And on the console web site, it lists 2 policies, a GDP something policy and a basic firewall policy. But the WD for Biz subscription doesn't attach those policies to my PC. I found out thru an MS Defender tech that I need the $22/month Premium plan to get those policies to work. Considering on how poorly they did in av-comparatives APT test ( see here: [URL='https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/advanced-threat-protection-test-2022-enterprise/']Advanced Threat Protection Test 2022 - Enterprise[/URL] ) I shouldn't have wasted my time testing it. The malware engine is acceptable for handling every day malware. But does nada to stop hackers. And it did nothing to stop my hacker friend from operating a remote access tool on my system. He was kind enough to demonstrate that it exists by deleting some files I just transferred over. 3 dos windows popped up and disappeared, and my 3 files were gone. So I canceled my WD Biz subscription and now I am back on CheckPoint Harmony. Now lets see what Harmony's behavior detection can do. [/QUOTE]
