SE Labs Q4 2025 Evaluations Put Endpoint Security Products to the Test Across the Full Attack Chain

SE LABS Ⓡ, the cyber security testing authority, today announced the release of its Q4 2025 Endpoint Security Evaluation Test Reports, covering the home, SMB, and enterprise markets.

Using its industry-respected full attack chain methodology, SE Labs evaluated how effectively leading cyber security products defend against both widespread public threats and highly targeted, sophisticated attacks — a dual challenge that defines the modern threat landscape.

“By including a balanced mix of threat types, these tests provide meaningful insight into how well each product performs across the full spectrum of real-world risk,” said Simon Edwards, Founder and CEO of SE Labs. “The results reveal not only whether a product can block attacks, but how it behaves when confronted by adversaries that are persistent, adaptive, and motivated.”

SE Labs’ Endpoint Security Evaluation Tests reflects the complex and evolving nature of today’s cyber attacks. Products are assessed against the common threats users encounter every day, while also being challenged by purpose-built, evasive attacks designed to bypass traditional defences. This dual-layer approach delivers a realistic view of how solutions perform when it matters most – under genuine attack conditions.

All the products in this test posted excellent results and won AAA awards. The strongest, from Broadcom, Sophos, CrowdStrike, Kaspersky and Microsoft scored 100% Protection Accuracy Ratings by providing protection against all of the threats.
