Rigorous tests by third-party research lab MRG Effitas demonstrate superior ability to detect and block real-world threats<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


Santa Clara, Calif. \u2013 June 22, 2023 \u2013<\/strong> Malwarebytes<\/a>, a global leader in real-time cyber protection, today announced that MRG Effitas, a world leader in independent IT research, gave Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection (EP) the highest possible score (100%) in its endpoint security efficacy assessment. As of the latest Q1 2023 test results<\/a>, Malwarebytes is the only vendor to win every MRG Effitas certification and award for the seventh consecutive quarter, outperforming other solutions in its ability to spot and stop zero-day threats, ransomware, banking malware, fileless attacks and exploits. Centered around nine rounds of rigorous testing, MRG Effitas\u2019 assessment criteria are the best way to evaluate endpoint security vendors today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMalwarebytes\u2019 consistent high performance underscores our ability to spot and stop known threats as well as zero-day and polymorphic malware,\u201d said Joe Hartmann, Senior Director of Threat Labs, Malwarebytes. \u201cFor under-resourced organizations that need endpoint security that just works, these results are a powerful tool to help them select the right protection for their business. Malwarebytes\u2019 focus on leveraging machine learning and AI to automatically create detections means our solutions benefit from the speed and vast data consumption possible with these technologies. MRG Effitas\u2019 quarterly testing alongside its new real-time testing solution Tempus, helps Malwarebytes\u2019 protection stay ahead of the curve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MRG Effitas is an independent research and testing lab that evaluates endpoint protection solutions. The 360\u00b0 Assessment & Certification by MRG Effitas isn\u2019t like other tests that just evaluate traditional file-based attacks: they unleash real-world fileless cases and exploitation techniques, live botnets and credit card-skimming attacks on vendor products as well. In its latest report, MRG Effitas recognized Malwarebytes EP for its advanced security capabilities, particularly in detecting and preventing complex malware attacks. Malwarebytes EP is the engine that powers its endpoint detection and response (EDR) and managed detection and response (MDR) solutions. EP is the first line of defense to ensure known threats are stopped and limits the amount of EDR alerts. Without effective EP, there can be no effective EDR, MDR, XDR or\u2014more broadly\u2014endpoint security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
