Sole participant among 17 vendors to achieve a perfect score in both the Real-World Protection and Malware Protection Tests

Elastic (NYSE: ESTC), the Search AI Company, announced that Elastic Security achieved a score of 100% protection in the recent AV-Comparatives Business Security Test. Among the 17 cybersecurity vendors, Elastic Security was the only product to score 100% in both the Real-World Protection and Malware Protection Tests.

The Real-World Protection Test simulates 220 real-world attack scenarios, including malicious websites, to evaluate a product’s ability to safeguard businesses from contemporary threats. Elastic’s 100% score underscores its ability to provide businesses with protection to effectively combat the latest threats, reducing the likelihood of data breaches and operational disruptions.

The Malware Protection Test assesses a security product’s ability to protect a system against infection by malicious files before, during, or after execution. The evaluation utilized a substantial dataset of 1,018 unique and recently identified malware samples, representing the current threat landscape. The 100% score in the Malware Protection Test was achieved as a result of Elastic’s threat detection engine being exceptionally effective at identifying and mitigating malware, proactively combating the increasingly sophisticated malware environment.

“Achieving 100% in both categories of the AV-Comparatives' Business Security Test signifies the effectiveness of our security solution and our commitment to helping businesses defend against today’s threats,” said Mike Nichols, vice president, Product Management, Security at Elastic. “When you pair Elastic’s anti-malware prevention with our ransomware defense and leading SIEM features, you get world-class XDR for every user.”

Elastic Security brings together SIEM, endpoint, and threat intelligence on an open source platform, powered by Search AI. This unified, open approach delivers not only industry-leading detection and prevention but also fast and efficient response and investigations.
