San Francisco – 4 June, 2013 – AMTSO, The Anti-Malware Testing Standards Organization announces a feature check solution for users of endpoint anti-malware security products allowing them to test whether their product is configured correctly to stop the many different types of attacks.
The AMTSO web site now hosts a number of easy to use tools to ensure that endpoint security products are configured to protect you from viruses, drive-by-downloads, potentially unwanted applications (PUA), phishing and cloud attacks. The tests can be accessed directly from the AMTSO home page..
Using newly developed tests and existing industry standards AMTSO is providing a single place for a user to test their configuration. The test pages are already supported by the following vendors:
