Introduction

This fact sheet gives a brief overview of the results of the Business Real-World Protection Test run in August and September 2024. The overall business product reports (each covering four months) will be released in July and December. For more information about this Real-World Protection Test, please read the details available at https://www.av-comparatives.org. The results are based on a test set consisting of 243 test cases (such as malicious URLs), tested from the beginning of August till the end of September.

Tested Products

Information about additional third-party engines/signatures used by some of the products: CISCO, G Data, Rapid7, SenseOn and VIPRE use the Bitdefender engine (in addition to their own protection features). VMware uses the Avira engine (in addition to their own protection features).

The “ENS” version of Trellix in this test uses the erstwhile McAfee engine (now owned by Trellix), opposed to the “HX” version which uses the FireEye engine (McAfee Enterprise and FireEye were merged into Trellix in 2022).

SenseOn 235 8 96.7% 1

* User-dependent cases are given half credit. For example, if a program blocks 80% by itself, and another 20% of cases are user-dependent, we give half credit for the 20%, i.e. 10%, so it gets 90% altogether.
