AV-TEST proved Cylance’s approach sets it apart from all industry competition when it comes to effectiveness in preventing malware from executing. There were several real-life scenarios against which AV-TEST evaluated CylancePROTECT: systems that had delayed updates, false positives, simulated attacks and malware that had been distributed by websites.

“This is the first time we tested the ‘marketing claims’ of a next-gen vendor and results showed that the claims are indeed backed up by the technology,” said Maik Morgenstern, CTO and CEO of AV-TEST. The study measures each product’s individual performance against new and unknown malicious executables in both connected and disconnected environments.
