ARLINGTON, Va., July 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Endgame, the first endpoint protection platform to deliver the stopping power of a world class SOC in a single agent, today announced that AV-Comparatives has awarded its Approved Business Product Award to Endgame in its half-year Business Main-Test Series report. The results of the report show that Endgame is the best performing platform for protecting businesses from real-world threats relying purely on machine learning prevention methods.

“Independent third-party testing is essential to cutting through marketing hype and getting to the heart of the question our customers want answered, ‘Does it work?’ We are happy to share that these tests results allow us to say yes,” said Mark Dufresne, vice president of Threat Research and Prevention at Endgame. “At Endgame, we are committed to pursuing excellence without settling for incremental improvements. We are on a mission to build a product that stops every single attack and these results prove we’re on the right track.”

Endgame outperformed next generation players like Crowdstrike and FireEye in the Business Malware Protection Test by preventing 99.3 percent of malware with zero false positives.

AV-Comparatives is an independent lab that tests the protection and performance capabilities of leading security providers for business users. This report combines the results of several tests over the first half of 2018 to provide a comprehensive picture of how well each security platform protects against malware, risky web browsing and device performance degradations.

“Endgame offers an effective product for protecting enterprises from real-world cyber threats, and we are pleased to see that they did well,” said Andreas Clementi, founder and chief executive officer at AV-Comparatives. “In large enterprises, success may depend not just on identifying and stopping malware, but also on understanding the larger context of the attack.”

To earn the Approved Business Product Award, the tested products must score at least 90 percent in the Malware Protection Test and at least 90 percent in the overall Real-World Protection Test over the course of four months with zero false alarms on common business software. Tested products must also avoid major performance issues and have fixed all reported bugs in order to gain certification.
