ThreatDown Endpoint Protection has been awarded AVLab’s Product of the Year for the third consecutive year, after neutralizing 100% of the threats it was tested against. The certificate is awarded to solutions that achieve a high level of security throughout the year in AVLab’s Advanced In-The-Wild Malware Test.

ThreatDown Endpoint Protection also received AVLab’s “Top Remediation Time” award, for its performance in the organization’s new incident recovery time assessment.

AVLab is renowned for its rigorous testing—pitting security products against real-world threats. Its goal to help the people responsible for security, so they are able to make smarter purchasing decisions, and to choose technologies that will be tailored to their specific requirements.

Its evaluations, which are performed every other month by a team of cybersecurity and information security experts, are constructed to test and compare cybersecurity vendors against the latest malware. To ensure the evaluations reflect current cyberthreats, each round of testing follows three steps: 

1. Collecting and verifying in-the-wild malware: AVLab regularly collects malware samples from malicious and active URLs, testing the malware samples to understand their impact to networks and endpoints. 
2. Simulating a real-world scenario in testing: To recreate how a real-life cyberattack would occur, AVLab uses the Firefox web browser to engage with the known, malicious URLs collected in the first step.
3. Incident recovery time assessment: With the various cybersecurity products installed, AVLab measures whether the evaluated product detects a malware sample, when it detects a sample, and how long it took to detect that sample. The last metric is referred to as “Remediation Time.”
