Technology: Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
Lift your org’s security into the top 1%
Back to security basics, lift your org’s security into top 1%. It’s a shocking statistic, but most businesses don’t have a cyber security plan. Given the lack of general interest in cyber security, it’s no wonder that ransomware and less obvious threats are running riot through computer systems all over the world.
The same old cliched advice still applies to everyone:
- Apply security patches when available.
- Back up your important data.
- Use multi-factor authentication.
- Use endpoint protection.
If that sounds painfully basic and boring, I’m sorry. But it’s still the best advice out there. You don’t need AI, blockchain or other magical concepts to raise yourself to the top 1% of secure internet users.
If you want to know which endpoint protection to use, this report will help you or your business choose. There is, of course, more to cyber security than choosing an ‘anti-virus’ program though!

Given the lack of general interest in cyber security, it’s no wonder that ransomware and less obvious threats are running riot through computer systems all over the world.
The larger the organisation, the more complex its security needs, but at the very core the same old cliched advice still applies to everyone:

- Back up your important data.
- Use multi-factor authentication.
- Use endpoint protection.

Essential Endpoint Security Enterprise
Realistic attacks for useful results
Essential Endpoint Security for Enterprise. Keeping your organisation safe from online threats requires strong endpoint protection. It’s not just important – it’s crucial. So, it’s a good idea to regularly check how well it’s working. Essential endpoint security means checking if the security tools on devices like desktops, laptops, and mobiles do their job.
Why? Because these devices are often the target of online attacks. If they’re not protected, they can become a way for cybercriminals to get to your sensitive information.
Our reports help you choose the best home anti-malware product that can protect you from ransomware and other types of attacks.

How we test
SE Labs brings a wealth of experience to the table when it comes to testing endpoint protection. We firmly believe in the necessity of conducting these tests regularly to ensure that security vendors are consistently updating and enhancing their effectiveness. Our testing approach involves recreating real-world cyberattack situations, allowing us to assess the performance of endpoint security solutions in terms of detection, prevention, and mitigation.

Critical Endpoint Protection
Realistic attacks for useful results
Endpoint protection is a critical component of any organisation’s cyber security strategy
And if it’s critical then you should test it. And have others run assessments too. Testing endpoint protection involves evaluating the effectiveness of the security solutions. These solutions are deployed on endpoint devices such as desktops, laptops and mobile devices. Endpoint protection testing is necessary because endpoints are often the target of cyberattacks. Endpoints can be used as a gateway to gain access to sensitive data.
Our reports help you choose the best home anti-malware product that can protect you from ransomware and other types of attack.

SE Labs has extensive experience in endpoint protection testing. We have found that it is essential to conduct these tests regularly to ensure that the security vendors are keeping them up-to-date and effective. Our testing methodology involves replicating real-world cyberattack scenarios. And then evaluating how well the endpoint security solutions perform in detecting, preventing, and mitigating those attacks.
One of the key aspects of endpoint protection testing is the use of realistic attack scenarios. Our team of experts analyses the latest threat intelligence and creates attack scenarios that closely mimic the tactics, techniques, and procedures used by real-world cybercriminals. By doing so, we can determine how well the endpoint security solutions perform in detecting and preventing these attacks.

Cisco Secure Endpoint – DETECTION
Testing protection against fully featured attacks
SE Labs tested Cisco Secure Endpoint against targeted attacks based on the Turla threat. These attacks are designed to compromise systems and penetrate target networks in the same way as the advanced persistent hacking group known as Turla operates to breach systems and networks.
An Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) product is more than anti-virus, which is why it requires advanced testing. This means testers must behave like real attackers, following every step of an attack. While it’s tempting to save time by taking shortcuts, a tester must go through an entire attack to truly understand the capabilities of EDR security products.

Product factsheets:
Results – Cisco Secure Endpoint (Detection)
Cisco scored a 100% Detection Accuracy Rating for detecting every element of the Turla attacks, starting from the delivery of the spear phishing attachment through to all the subsequent malicious activities in the attack chain. It also prevented all of the malicious activities from running, incurring no penalties for allowing the full or partial execution of targeted attacks. The product did not generate false positives, meaning that it didn’t wrongly detect or hamper harmless, legitimate software.

Enterprise Advanced Security (EDR): Cisco Secure Endpoint – PROTECTION
Cisco Secure Endpoint
Testing protection against fully featured attacks
SE Labs tested Cisco Secure Endpoint – Protection against targeted attacks based on the Turla threat. These attacks are designed to compromise systems and penetrate target networks in the same way as the advanced persistent hacking group known as Turla operates to breach systems and networks.
There are many opportunities to spot and stop attackers. Products can detect them when attackers send phishing emails to targets. Or later, when other emails contain links to malicious code. Some kick into action when malware enters the system. Others sit up and notice when the attackers exhibit bad behaviour on the network.
Ultimately you want your chosen security product to prevent a breach one way or another, but it’s more ideal to stop a threat early, rather than watch as it wreaks havoc before stopping it and trying to clean up.
