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:

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
Home Anti-Virus Tests Are Really Important
Critical Endpoint protection is a critical component for good home cyber security
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 deployed. Such as endpoint devices like desktops, laptops and mobile devices. Endpoint protection testing is necessary because endpoints are often the target of cyberattacks. They can be used as a gateway to gain access to sensitive data.

How we test endpoint protection for home anti-virus tests
We have extensive experience in endpoint protection testing, and 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 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.

How can you test and judge endpoint protection products?
Back to basics
How can you test and judge endpoint protection products?
Working out which endpoint protection product is right for your organisation requires a lot of thought. Each product on the market has a pile of features and they don’t all do exactly the same thing. But at the very least, they should detect and stop malware threats. That should be your baseline when choosing between them. In our latest Endpoint Security (EPS) reports we test and judge endpoint protection products of many of the main brands, and we tell you how we do it.

How we test endpoint protection products
Testing security technology is rarely simple. We’ve talked about online anti-virus reviews before, and how they can be too basic to help make sensible buying decisions. But we don’t have to get bogged down in
details here. Let’s get back down to basics. What should endpoint protection products do and how does SE Labs test them?
- Firstly, we install different anti-malware solutions onto real PCs – the sort you have on or under your desk. Then we attack those computers using threats we’ve found on the internet and using targeted attacks that we’ve built in our lab. Fundamentally, we behave like real attackers. It’s the purest kind of test.
- Secondly, we then score products on their performance. They get points for detecting the threat and further credit if they actually stop the attack. If they prevent the attack from running at all they score top marks for ‘blocking’ the threat.
- Lastly, we introduce good emails, websites and programs to the targets. If a security product blocks those, we deduct a lot of points because they are hampering users from using their computers properly.
