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.

AV-Comparatives Awards for Palo Alto Networks

Palo Alto Networks achieved great success in AV-Comparatives’ 2023 Anti-Tampering Test and in the Enterprise EPR-Test which checks a product’s ability to detect, analyse and prevent advanced persistent threats. 

In order to be certified in the Endpoint Prevention & Response (EPR) Test, a product must achieve an average of at least 90% for combined Active and Passive Response, without incurring excessive costs.  Achieving certification signifies a product’s excellence, regardless of the specific quadrant level attained within the EPR Quadrant. Receiving a ‘Certified’ designation in our Enterprise EPR Test signifies that a product has demonstrated a high level of performance and effectiveness.

Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR Pro was very successful in the EPR Test and Palo Alto was certified with the Endpoint Prevention & Response Award. It also received a Certified Anti-Tampering Product Award for the Anti-Tampering Test.
