Managed Extended Detection and Response “Made in Germany” excels in demanding test scenario
G DATA CyberDefense has once again received the prestigious certification from AV-Comparatives in the EDR Detection Validation Certification Test. In the demanding test scenario conducted by the independent and renowned testing laboratory, G DATA MXDR delivered outstanding performance across the board. The “Made in Germany” solution successfully detected the simulated attack scenarios, proving its strong protection capabilities. G DATA is also the only German vendor among the certified participants.
For the test, AV-Comparatives simulated a realistic cyberattack consisting of 14 consecutive attack stages – ranging from spear phishing and persistence mechanisms to lateral movement and a DCSync attack targeting the domain controller. In addition, the testers evaluated several signal-to-noise scenarios to assess how reliably the solutions could distinguish between real threats and legitimate administrative activities.
G DATA MXDR detected all relevant parts of the attack chain through both active alerts and meaningful telemetry data for threat hunting and forensic analysis. The solution’s ability to correlate suspicious activities across multiple systems and present the attack chain in a clear and traceable manner was particularly highlighted.
“The certification by AV-Comparatives confirms that companies can fully rely on G DATA MXDR”, says Thomas Siebert, Vice President Corporate Strategy & Portfolio Management at G DATA CyberDefense.
“The result demonstrates that our Managed Extended Detection and Response solution ‘Made in Germany’ reliably detects cyber threats while significantly reducing the workload for security teams. At the same time, we continuously enhance our solution to meet our customers’ requirements and address the evolving threat landscape.”
"G DATA achieved a perfect result in the Signal-to-Noise evaluation, correctly handling all five benign activity scenarios without generating excessive or misleading alerts. The product showed good reconstructive visibility once the attack became operational on server systems, with useful process correlation and threat-hunting telemetry”, says Andreas Clementi, Founder and CEO of AV-Comparatives.
