[QUOTE="David R, post: 635641, member: 62832"] Having had hands-on experience with the Cylance and Sophos Home products, and done similar testing, I would be hard pressed to believe the VoodooShield did their due diligence in configuration of the Sophos Home and Cylance settings. You can easily create a passive policy, and force global quarantine of certain files, which would cause Cylance or Sophos to "trip up." So, unless VoodooShield comes out with a video showing their configuration of CylancePROTECT and Sophos Home, I wouldn't put much weight on this test. EDIT: I just reviewed VoodooShield's home/free version. Take away: it's basically an app whitelisting program with cloud-based signatures (or scores) for malware. It seems useless without an internet connection. out of 100 samples I tried to run, it actually missed one and let it install. Cylance also has an app whitelisting option, which I'm sure was not used in this video test. Anyone else have feedback on this? EDIT 2: Just ran my own test on a [I]protected[/I] system (lab) with Cylance (offline, no internet connection) on 100 samples of ransomware and other kinds of random malware and all 100 pieces were quarantined [I]with[/I] AND [I]without [/I]execution. Moral: Do your own tests. Take advantage of demo/lab environments vendors offer and test, test, test... then come to your own conclusions. Don't rely on [I]any [/I]vendor's analysis/comparison of their own + other's solutions. [/QUOTE]
