"Researchers Create Framework to Evaluate Endpoint Security Products"

Researchers, Lidia Giuliano and Mike Spaulding, have developed a framework that could be used to assess the effectiveness of endpoint security tools. This framework was developed to assist organizations in the process of selecting and examining endpoint security tools without the use of materials and environments provided by vendors. In the test process of this framework, researchers tested a large variety of malware against five different endpoint security tools. Researchers plan to present details of this framework’s process at Black Hat USA. This article further discusses what drove researchers to develop this framework, the lack of external materials and environments for testing endpoint security tools, what was involved in the test process of this framework, along with the importance of organizations understanding their own security gaps and business requirements.
