NSS Labs Report

FINALLY a TRUELY INDEPENDANT REPORT!!!!

If you are like me - you trust comparative reports as far as you can scrunch them up into a ball and throw them!

This report is different. Why? Because the testing company is different! NSS Labs is like the Choice magazine of the Global IT industry. They are not sponsored by the vendors they test. They are a customer led subscription service to enable their customers to make the best vendor agnostic decisions on specific topics.

NSS Labs compared leading endpoint security solutions using "real world" testing methods that go beyond simple detection to provide an unbiased report of security performance. These independent test results prove the Trend Micro’s Smart Protection Network provided the best protection. OfficeScan 10 ranked #1 in both socially engineered malware protection and "time to protect."

A snip from the report:
“During July and August, 2009 NSS Labs performed the industry’s most real-world test of anti-virus / endpoint protection suites against socially engineered malware. NSS Labs’ Live Testing measures products against the most current threats as a user would experience them: not against stale or questionable samples in a closed lab environment, like other tests. The results presented here are based upon empirically validated evidence gathered during 17 days of 24x7 testing, performed every 8 hours, over 59 discrete test runs, each one adding fresh new malware URLs. Each product was updated to the most current version available at the time testing began, and allowed access to the live Internet during the entire course of the test.”

Now – given the phenomenal results in Trend’s favour in this report - we have paid a big sum of money for people to gain free access to the report which would otherwise cost a couple of grand to access. – So click on this link as a stepping stone to NSS to access the report:
