AV-Comparatives named Cisco the Strategic Leader inside its EPR survey

Cisco Secure Endpoint (earlier AMP for Endpoints) was named a Strategic Head by AV -Comparatives inside the Endpoint Prevention and Reaction (EPR) CyberRisk Quadrant within their inaugural EPR Comparative Report.

AV-Comparatives is a top independent endpoint security software program testing organization withtwo years of knowledge. The EPR document assessed how efficient endpoint security items are in preventing, detecting, and giving an answer to targeted assaults. It includes a series of checks that emulate multi-stage episodes along similar outlines as MITRE’s ATT&CK evaluation – tests prevention, detection, and reaction capabilities, by adding an efficacy scoring cost and mechanism analysis.  You will find the report’s methodology here.

Forrester’s Chris Sherman, senior author and analyst of Forrester’s Endpoint Security Suite Wave, stated that “The EPR test includes the depth and breadth essential to fairly evaluate vendors with both prevention and detection capabilities” Chris also mentioned he hasn’t “been this thrilled for a fresh test since MITRE discussed their circular one test”.

Ten vendors participated inside the test. Just four were called Strategic Leaders.  AV-Comparatives defines Strategic Leaders as “EPR products which have a very higher profits on return” that “provide suprisingly low total price of ownership” because of “exceptional technical abilities” that “demonstrated excellent enterprise-class prevention, detection, reaction and reporting capabilities, coupled with optimum operational and analyst workflow functions.”

Cisco Secure Endpoint had among the highest ratings for active reaction, passive reaction, and combined prevention / reaction features. It achieved this whilst having among the lowest expenses per endpoint and overall cost of possession. As a respected EPR item in this check, Cisco Secure Endpoint provides demonstrated excellent technical capabilities to avoid most attacks, coupled with reasonable costs therefore we can deliver high ROI and incredibly low TCO for the customers.

We participated inside the test with this Essentials tier, our most elementary offering which will not include Orbital Advanced Search or SecureX Threat Hunting. In addition, the assessment was conducted in the same way we were presenting our most recent endpoint prevention and recognition engine, Behavioral Protection. The brand new engine is specifically made to much better detect the kind of sophisticated assaults that bypass malware and atomic-indicator detection motors, such as for example attacks that make usage of living-of-the-land strategies, by concentrating the on the behavioral styles of the episodes. Since then, more enhanced this motor we’ve.

Finally, because the AV-Comparatives’ EPR test, Cisco is along the way of taking part in MITRE’s newest round of ATT&CK evaluations, centered on the Carbanak+FIN7 threat actors. The full total outcomes of the MITRE evaluation should become obtainable in the coming months.
