All Press ReleasesSE LABS Ⓡ, the cybersecurity testing authority, announced today that Fortinet FortiEDR scored a 100% Total Accuracy Rating against a range of fully featured targeted attacks in SE Labs’ latest Advanced Security test.
SE Labs attacked target systems in the same way the Advanced, Persistent Threat (APT) groups known as Gamaredon Group, Ember Bear, Evasive Panda, and DPRK operate to 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.
“Ultimately, you want your chosen security product to prevent a breach one way or another, but it’s more ideal to stop a threat before it leads to a cyber incident,” says Simon Edwards, CEO,SE Labs. “FortiEDR provided excellent protection against threats based on the type of sustained attack typically waged by state-sponsored groups and proved itself worthy of our AAA rating.”
FortiEDR’s 100% Total Accuracy Rating was hard won, given the variety of the attacks used in this test, which were based on the techniques of four APT groups. Two of the APT groups, for example, each used a single method by which to deliver their threats. Gamaredon used spear phishing attachments and DPRK used external remote services.
In contrast, Ember Bear and Evasive Panda used up to four delivery methods each, adding up to nine different ways by which the attacks were delivered. As the attacks progress, the number of elements to detect and protect against increase exponentially. These groups have the resources to develop completely new attack techniques as well as launch variations of those they have used before.
“At Fortinet, we are deeply committed to securing people, devices, and data everywhere,” says Nirav Shah, Senior Vice President, Products and Solutions, Fortinet. “Receiving a 100% Total Accuracy Rating against a range of targeted attacks in SE Labs’ latest Advanced Security test is a testament to the efficacy of FortiEDR and its proven ability to identify and stop breaches in real time. We are proud to secure more than half a million customers globally with industry-leading solutions that prevent cyber incidents automatically and efficiently.”
Fortinet FortiEDR blocked every threat at the execution stage. The product did not generate any false positives, meaning that it did not wrongly detect or hamper harmless, legitimate software. It also prevented all of the malicious activities from running.
