The Security Value Map ™ (SVM) provides a high-level analysis of the detailed findings from our tests. The x-axis displays the Price per Protected Mbps in US dollars. The y-axis displays the Protection Rate score as a percentage.

Where a product’s Protection Rate and Price per Protected Mbps scores will determine which section it falls into on the SVM:

  • Recommended: Products in the upper-right section are recommended for security, performance, and value.
  • Neutral: Products that map into either the upper-left or lower-right sections are less capable than the Recommended category.
  • Caution: Products that map into the lower-left section of the SVM offer poor value for money.
Technology Overview

If you use a computer, you may have been the target of a cyberattack. Some malware (e.g., ransomware) can be catastrophic. Other malware behaves more like a parasite that uses your PCs resources to perform tasks (e.g., cryptocurrency mining). Yet other malware records your keystrokes and steals passwords or hijacks online banking.

If you are one of millions who works remote or frequently travels, your protection is probably limited to the web browser you choose and your endpoint protection product. In order to provide some guidance, covered eight endpoint protection / anti-virus products.

In The Reports
CyberRatings.org is providing test results in this category at no charge. A registration to a FREE Membership is required to download the reports.
Over 40,000 live tests were performed on each product, providing a ±0.49% margin of error. And since most infections occur in the first few hours after a new malware campaign is launched, the time it takes for a security product to block the attack matters a lot. That is why we tested not only how much malware a product blocks, but how quickly it blocks an attack.
