AV-Comparatives Awards 2022 for Elastic

Elastic Security achieved great success in AV-Comparatives’ Enterprise Main-Test Series of 2022. The tests covered different protection scenarios, system performance, and false positives.

Elastic Security provides either a server-based or a cloud-based console for managing the endpoint protection software. We have described the latter in our review. As well as malware protection, the product includes investigative functions for analysing and remediating attacks. The product can manage networks with tens of thousands of devices.

AV-Comparatives’ tests are very carefully designed and executed to thoroughly and realistically simulate scenarios that face users in real life. Consequently, a certification by AV-Comparatives is a guarantee of an effective and reliable product. An “Approved Product” award means that the software has been rigorously checked to ensure that it will perform its intended task competently. It is an industry-recognised standard of quality.

AV-Comparatives’ tests have multiple aspects, to represent the different requirements of IT security solutions. Further awards highlight the effectiveness of individual programs in different protection scenarios, low false positives, and low impact on system performance. Users can thus see which programs score highly in the categories that matter most to them.
