Enterprise Advanced Security (EAS): Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud with Advanced Security + XDR Pack
Endpoint Detection and Response is more than anti-virus
Gain insights into cyber security testing through transparent threat intelligence
An Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) product is much more than anti-virus which is why it requires more sophisticated testing. This involves testers mimicking real attackers and following every step of an attack.
How we test the effectiveness of Endpoint Detection and Response products
While shortcuts might seem tempting, fully executing each phase of an attack is crucial to truly evaluate the effectiveness of EDR products.
Moreover, each step must reflect real-world scenarios. You can’t just guess what cybercriminals might do and hope it’s accurate. That’s why SE Labs tracks the actual behaviour of cybercriminals and designs tests based on how attackers attempt to compromise their targets.
The cyber security industry refers to this sequence of steps as the ‘attack chain.’ The MITRE organization has documented these stages in its ATT&CK framework.
How we tested Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud with Advanced Security + XDR Pack
We tested Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud with Advanced Security + XDR Pack against a range of hacking attacks designed to compromise systems and penetrate target networks in the same way as criminals and other attackers breach systems and networks. Full chains of attack were used, meaning that testers behaved as real attackers, probing targets using a variety of tools, techniques and vectors before attempting to gain lower-level and more powerful access. Finally, the testers/ attackers attempted to complete their missions, which might include stealing information, damaging systems and connecting to other systems on the network.
Choose your reports and reviews carefully
We pride ourselves on a level of transparency that elevates our work above the less open reports available. But don’t just take our word for it. This report has gone through the AMTSO certification process to ensure that we say what we’re going to do; do it; and can prove it. Our results help vendors improve their products and buyers choose the best for their own needs.
