AV-Comparatives Awards 2023 for Trellix

Trellix achieved great success in AV-Comparatives’ Enterprise Main-Test Series of 2023. The tests covered different protection scenarios, system performance, and false positives.

Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is a professional security product that can manage enterprise networks of up to 100,000 endpoints per appliance. As well as malware protection, the product includes investigative functions for analysing and remediating targeted cyber-attacks.

It demonstrated a high level of protection against both Internet-based threats, and malicious files from sources such as external drives or the local area network. It also had to prove that it could provide this protection without impacting device performance or creating false alarms.

The Endpoint Security (ENS) management console can be run on a variety of platforms (cloud-based, hardware/virtual appliance,  or Amazon-hosted). It provides a clean overview page, illuminated with graphics, and a single menu for navigating the various features. Testers found that it provided easy access to details pages for individual items. There are comprehensive search facilities, and a containment feature to isolate infected 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.
