Real-world independent testing reveals FireEye
as the only next-gen endpoint solution with zero false
positives
FireEye, Inc. (NASDAQ: FEYE), the intelligence-led security
company, today announced that AV-Comparatives has awarded FireEye®
Endpoint Security their Approved Business Product Award for
endpoint protection and performance capabilities. In the latest
round of tests FireEye detected 99.3 percent of malicious activity
and reported zero false positive alerts.
“Attackers get better every day and differentiating the bad from
the good is a constant battle. Adding to the detection challenge,
security teams are almost universally short-staffed, and any time
spent investing false positives takes away from pursing legitimate
threats,” said Michelle Salvado, vice president of endpoint
engineering at FireEye. “FireEye’s unique differentiator is the
extensive intelligence gained from the front lines of cyber
security, including responding to incidents, breach intelligence,
and machine intelligence. Our focus is on integrating that
intelligence to constantly improve our anti-malware engines, like
our machine learning and behavioral analysis models, to detect the
latest malicious techniques – and when FireEye Endpoint triggers an
alert, our customers know it’s worth investigating.”
Eliminate False-Positive Fatigue
False alerts are costly to any security operation. They take
away limited analyst time and bury real threats underneath
thousands of non-critical ones. The manual nature of reviewing
these alerts puts a huge burden on companies in the form of wasted
analyst time and alert fatigue among those responsible for
protecting an organization. The additional maintenance work also
increases the complexity of deployment and can increase the total
cost of solution ownership.
To earn the Approved Business Product Award, tested products
must score at least 90 percent in the Malware Protection Test and
at least 90 percent in the overall Real-World Protection Test over
the course of four months with zero false alarms on common business
software. Tested products must also avoid major performance issues
and have fixed all reported bugs in order to gain certification.
Results showed that FireEye had zero false positives, while
simultaneously protecting against 99.7 percent of malware, and 99.3
percent of real-world scenarios.
