[QUOTE="pbust, post: 933340, member: 2337"] Hi, was pointed to this post. Pedro Bustamante here, head of research and innovation at malwarebytes... excuse the old Panda icon :) I can confirm both the MB4core and corporate EP core detection is exactly the same. We do have a separate EDR business product that includes a few more cloud-based detection technologies, but that was not tested at MRG. The bad performance rating was a config error on our part as we provisioned EDR instead of EP (even though the EDR detections don't count for points in the MRG test). In the next test you'll see the real performance impact comparative.
