Endpoint Prevention and Response Comparative Report 2023

This document is the Endpoint Prevention and Response (EPR) Comparative Report 2023, which presents independent tests of various anti-virus software products. The report focuses on EPR solutions that are designed to detect, prevent, analyze, and respond to targeted attacks, including advanced persistent threats (APTs). It outlines the testing methodology, which involved subjecting twelve products to fifty separate targeted attack scenarios across three phases: Endpoint Compromise and Foothold, Internal Propagation, and Asset Breach. The report details the active and passive responses of each product to these threats, as well as their capabilities in providing remedial actions and presenting information on indicators of compromise. Additionally, the report introduces the Enterprise EPR CyberRisk Quadrant, which evaluates products based on breach prevention effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, operational accuracy, and workflow efficiency. The findings aim to assist enterprises in selecting suitable EPR products for their security needs.
