Whilst many consumers may live in denial that an attack like this will ever affect them, Sophos’ research revealed the opposite. This year’s Malware Report from Sophos reveals just how malware is being weaved into this everyday technology, and how, year on year, we are seeing cybercriminals become more intelligent in their attacks, making it increasingly important for consumers to be wary of the dangers out there. However, the downside of living in this hyper-connected society means that people are also extremely vulnerable to cyber-attacks. The post Sophos Intercept X Achieves Highest Scores in NSS Labs 2019 Advanced Endpoint Protection (AEP) Group Test appeared first on NSS.From online gaming, to mobile apps and wearable tech, technology is used at almost every touch point in people’s day-to-day lives.

We’re happy to continue to see our products succeed in third party testing and receive awards, and we encourage you to explore the details of the testing reports at If you’re ready to see for yourself, you can download a free trial of Intercept X at today. Competent independent testing labs provide a great service to vendors and buyers, and are critical to the cybersecurity ecosystem to drive higher standards of protection for all”. But just like all cybersecurity products are not equal, not all testing houses are equal and this remains somewhat opaque to the consumers of their reports, particularly when there is insufficient transparency around methodologies or execution details. With threats and attack techniques increasing and evolving at an ever-accelerating rate, testing houses need to make extraordinary investments in their laboratories if they are to produce meaningful and rigorous measurements of cybersecurity product effectiveness. “Measuring cybersecurity product effectiveness is unimaginably complex. Testing labs need to work with vendors to configure environments correctly, vendors should make it easy for their products to be scrutinized, and testing labs should engage end users to specify the features to be reviewed.Īs a supporter of the anti-malware testing standards and Board member of AMTSO, Sophos CTO Joe Levy recognizes that while third party cybersecurity tests are not yet perfect, they still have plenty of value. Sophos encourages testing to be fair, rigorous, transparent, and collaborative, and it should seek to replicate the threat environment as it exists for customers, not just in lab conditions.
Great strides are being made to level the playing fields in cybersecurity testing.
We are confident that we have developed the most effective products but realize every business is unique just like independent testing reports. While these results confirm what we already know (it’s great to get high praise) we encourage every business to evaluate the effectiveness of a solution using multiple independent data points and carry out an assessment of its ability to work within their environment. In this 2019 AEP Group Test by NSS Labs, we are pleased to see our technology outperform all other products, supporting what our own internal tests and numerous independent reviews have confirmed since the product first launched. In the 2019 AEP Group Test published by NSS Labs today, our next-gen endpoint solution Intercept X was recognized as having the highest security effectiveness and the most efficient TCO (total cost of ownership) of the 19 endpoint security products tested. Sophos is a strong advocate for thorough independent testing of cybersecurity products to help customers choose what’s right for their environment and for vendors to improve the protection in their technology.
