The testing looked at the following: • Detection rates for malware based on an in-market set of 1,000 publicly sourced malware samples • CPU utilization during the scanning of the samples CylanceENDPOINT detected up to 25 percent more threats, with up to eight times less system impact, than the cohort, highlighting the difference in the real-world protection outcomes produced by various defensive AI models. So its more important than ever to have objective testing for how well different models stack up when it comes to proactive defense.” said Sriram Krishnan, Head of Product Management for BlackBerrys Cybersecurity business unit. Getting things done on the go can grind to a halt.” In addition to the Tolly results, CylanceENDPOINT has continuously demonstrated some of the lowest false positives in the industry and supports the widest range of modern and legacy operating systems, whether they are network-connected or not. “A big takeaway from the results is that all of the tested vendors rely on a network connection back to a central service in order to defend against attacks.
