We feel that both of these approaches fail to gain the benefits of a truly predictive engine making decisions in real time and believe them to be vastly inferior to Cylance’s pre-execution analysis approach. While some antivirus products on the market today claim the use of multiple machine learning techniques that seem similar to Cylance’s approach at first glance, these products use machine learning in the cloud to generate new hash signatures or in conjunction with their post execution heuristic engines. This diverges from traditional antivirus methodologies that involve writing signatures or relying on reputational or behavioral heuristics, to determine if a sample is bad, many times after it’s already running. This means that we predict if a sample is good or bad, in real time, before it executes on the system – or what we call “pre-execution”. Unlike traditional antivirus, we use a pure machine learning approach to determining maliciousness. True “Next Generation Antivirus”īefore getting into the specifics of the AV-TEST, we should first explain that Cylance is “Next Generation Antivirus”, and our technology is vastly different from traditional antivirus. In the end, the only pure way to ensure objectivity and independence is for you the consumer or business to acquire the samples, build the test methodology, and run the test yourself. The companies evaluated in this test, however can spend as much time and resources as they have the money to ensure the highest possible score. While some may question the impartiality of these tests, we found the methodology to be open, easily auditable, and do not believe they intentionally favored one vendor over another. They provide answers to consumers and businesses who neither have the time or resources to answer for themselves simply due to the sheer number of products and different layers of protection. Independently verified, third party testing is paramount to objectively measure the security industry’s efficacy. While CylancePROTECT has undergone numerous private tests by independent third parties that have led to vastly differing results, in this summary we will go into the detail of AV-TEST’s methodology and scoring, provide clarity on the test’s results, and hopefully provide a better understanding of Cylance and the technology we use to provide the most effective endpoint security product on the market today. This test marked the first publicly available test of CylancePROTECT™ by an “independent” third party.
