In each test case we employ the full spectrum of Early Life Malware. We use a Time-To-Detect metric to measure how long it takes each application to detect and neutralize missed threats.”

While we received preliminary results with an opportunity to dispute, we did not receive any acknowledgement of our disputes and it appears as if they were ignored/rejected without any feedback. We’ve reached out directly to MRG to try and understand where the failure occurred and find a solution to the problem.” AMTSO note: Discussion between commenting vendor and test lab facilitated by AMTSO, communication issues settled amicably.
