Introduction
AV-Comparatives conducted this EDR Detection Validation Test in January 2025, with the report published in March 2025. As the first report of its kind, it serves as a pilot test, paving the way for future evaluations of this nature. Kaspersky was the first vendor to accept the invitation to participate, facing the challenge of undergoing the assessment without prior benchmarks from other vendors.
The test included a full attack scenario consisting of 14 steps and several sub-steps, as well as a Signal-to-Noise assessment. The tested product was configured in Detection Only mode to accurately assess its capabilities in identifying each technique used in the attack steps.
