Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection blocked a wide range of ransomware, fileless attacks and other threats:

  • 100 percent of “in the wild” threats blocked: Tested malware considered as ‘zero-day’, delivered by URLs 

  • 100 percent of ransomware blocked: Tested ‘in-house’ ransomware samples in-house (no possibly known signatures or community verdicts)

  • 100 percent of financial malware blocked: Tested financial malware used in the Magecart credit card-skimming attack

  • 100 percent of fileless attacks blocked: Tested to see how security products protect against a specific exploitation technique

  • 100 percent of PUA/adware blocked: Tested potentially unwanted applications (PUA), that are not malicious, but are generally considered unsuitable for most home or business networks.

Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection also delivered the fourth best performance rating of all tested vendors, and did it with zero false positives, providing further evidence that the Malwarebytes EP delivers the right combination of powerful detection without affecting overall operating system performance.

Easy, effective, and efficient cyber protection validated by third-party testing

Malwarebytes is committed to regularly subjecting our solutions to third-party testing.

Third-party testing is critical to ensuring that your endpoint security solution performs well where it counts, whether that’s ease-of-use, rate of false positives, percentage of threats blocked, and so on.
