Testing detection rates against known threats is outdated and misleading.

A new threat emerges every 2.5 seconds and most threats come from the web. That’s why current methods of testing anti-malware on offline PCs and endpoints don’t make sense.

New methodology tests protection in a real online environment

NSS Labs developed a new method to test anti-malware against threats using a real-world, online computing environment. The labs conducted independent testing on endpoint products from leading security vendors to reveal the highest levels of malware protection. The testing was unsponsored and noncommissioned.
