Statement from Test Lab

“SE Labs tests a variety of endpoint security products from a range of well-known vendors in an effort to judge which were the most effective. Each enterprise, small business, or consumer class product are exposed to the same threats, which are a mixture of targeted attacks using well-established techniques, public email, and web-based threats that are known or found to be live on the internet at the time of the test. The Test Reports indicate how effectively the products were at detecting and/or protecting against those threats in real time.”

Our product utilizes a new technology known as Adaptive Protection. This feature requires a baseline of “normal business operation” before locking down to exclude extraneous functionality from being allowed. The test plan does not allow for this learning period. We have proposed, as a compromise, running the FP test first, having that substitute for the “normal business operation”, then locking down all activity not seen during that test. As a precaution against mischief, the FP test can be re-run to verify nothing changed. If this course is taken then we recommend they FP/Config/FP test be run as quickly as possible, so that our normal backend operations do not change the result.
