ATP test: defending against attacks by ransomware and info stealers » https://lnkd.in/djkGGYsd They are the leading vectors for attacks: ransomware and info stealers. If attacks are successful, what follows is extortion for ransom, the data ends up for sale on the Internet, or both. None of this happens if good protection software thwarts the attacks immediately. But is the software capable of doing so? The current Advanced Threat Protection – ATP – test examines 25 security packages for consumer users and corporate users in 10 scenarios in a live battle to fend off ransomware and data stealers. The Advanced Threat Protection test shows that many providers fulfill their protection promises. The test also reveals errors in some products that have consequences, however: the systems are encrypted and the data is stolen. #avtest #threatprotection
