MALWAREBYTES OUTPERFORMS COMPETITION IN LATEST MRG EFFITAS ASSESSMENT

Posted: December 1, 2022 by Bill Cozens

Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection achieved the highest possible score (100%) for
the fifth consecutive quarter and received certifications for Level 1, Exploit,
Online Banking, and Ransomware.

For organizations concerned that their Endpoint Protection (EP) isn't the most
effective choice, independent IT assessments can help confirm their best (or
worst) suspicions.

To meet today’s most pressing threats, EP solutions need to prevent zero-day
exploits, ransomware, malicious downloads, and more—and do so with speedy
performance and low false positives. 

MRG Effitas, a world leader in independent IT research, published antivirus
efficacy assessment results for Q3 2022. Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection
achieved the highest possible score (100%) for the fifth consecutive quarter and
received certifications for Level 1, Exploit, Online Banking, and Ransomware.

Check out the full report Q3 2022
here: https://www.mrg-effitas.com/test/360-assessment-certification-q3-2022/



Tested and published in a separate report, our mobile product also achieved the
MRG Android 360 degree certification. 

Let’s dive in and take a closer look at some key wins.


STOPPING RANSOMWARE FROM GETTING A STRANGLEHOLD ON YOUR ORGANIZATION

In 2021, 37 percent of all businesses and organizations were hit by ransomware,
attacks costing breached businesses an average of $1.85 million. Needless to
say, EP needs to effectively block out ransomware to combat this costly threat.

MRG Effitas tested security products for 92 ransomware samples. In addition,
they tested four ransomware simulator samples created in-house, ensuring the
security product could only rely on its behavior scanning modules. To test for
false positives, a device running Malwarebytes EP ran three benign programs
designed to mimic ransomware behavior.

Malwarebytes blocked 100 percent of ransomware threats in the MRG Effitas
assessment and did so with no false positives, allowing the three benign
programs to run.

BLOCKING INITIAL IN-THE WILD FINANCIAL MALWARE INFECTIONS 

Financial malware tries to obtain access to confidential information stored or
processed through online banking systems—and it’s not just consumers who are
targeted. In 2021, 37% of banking malware attacks targeted corporate users.

MRG Effitas simulated the Magecart credit card-skimming attack on a device
running Malwarebytes EP. Magecart is a cybercriminal group who steal personal
and/or credit card data by using small JavaScript codes on eCommerce checkout
pages. 

Malwarebytes EP autoblocked 100% of the 13 financial malware samples.


ROBUST ANTI-EXPLOIT AND ANTI-POST-EXPLOIT FEATURES

Due to lack of proper updating and patch management, outdated software
(including browsers and applications) are widespread in enterprise environments.
In fact, 60% of breaches could have occurred because a patch was available for a
known vulnerability but not applied.

Exploits in general are not the malware payload, but a means to an end—their
goal being to get the payload on the target system. To that end, MRG Effitas
used exploits in vulnerable applications to try and deliver a malicious payload
on a device running Malwarebytes EP. It tested products to see if they could
interrupt payload delivery before an attacker could begin performing malicious
actions.

Malwarebytes autoblocked 100% of Exploit/Fileless attacks, entirely protecting
the system from infection.

6 PATCH MANAGEMENT BEST PRACTICES FOR BUSINESSES


ZERO-DAY THREATS? NO PROBLEM

A zero-day threat is one that hasn't been seen before—and detecting them is
challenging since they don't match any known malware signatures. And considering
that zero-day exploitation continues to reach all-time highs, it’s especially
crucial that today’s EP products are able to detect zero-day threats.

MRG Effitas tested EP products to see if they could detect in-the-wild (ITW)
threats—threats spreading among real world computers—including zero-day malware
delivered by URLs, posing a significant challenge to the participant products. 

Malwarebytes EP outperformed all but one competitor, autoblocking 99.72% of all
ITW and zero-day threats, as well as behavior-blocking .28% of them.


COMPREHENSIVE PROTECTION BUILT FOR SPEED—AND VALIDATED BY THIRD-PARTY TESTING

When it comes to low false-positive blocking of ransomware, banking malware,
exploit attacks, zero-day threats, and much more, Malwarebytes EP is in a league
of its own over competitors in the latest MRG Effitas assessment.

But that’s not all.

Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection delivered one of best performance ratings of
all tested vendors, doing so with zero false positives, providing further
evidence that the Malwarebytes EP delivers the right combination of powerful
detection without affecting overall operating system performance.

For organizations that are concerned their current solution may not be
up-to-par, the MRG Effitas assessment demonstrates that Malwarebytes EP has what
it takes to keep your business safe from today’s most pressing cyberthreats.
