Kaspersky products proved absolute anti-ransomware effectiveness in regular AV-TEST examination

/in


Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business, Kaspersky Small Office Security and Kaspersky Standard passed the regular Advanced Threat Protection assessments held by AV-TEST. In the testing, all three products demonstrated complete protection against ransomware in 10 different real-life attack scenarios.

Kaspersky products proved absolute anti-ransomware effectiveness in regular AV-TEST examination

In 2022, Kaspersky solutions detected over 74.2 million attempted ransomware attacks which was 20% more than in 2021. Although law enforcement agencies globally have succeeded in disrupting APT groups such as HIVE and Emotet, malware and malicious code created by the threat actors remain in circulation. As a result, other groups can now modify the rogue code to develop new malware, making it more sophisticated and better targeted. 

In August 2023, AV-TEST examined 33 corporate and customer cybersecurity products in 10 real-life scenarios including five ransomware and five data stealer attacks. The test was made even more complicated for vendors because some malware samples were written in the Rust programming language. Rust gives attackers an advantage of high processing speed, as well as a possibility to perform multiple operations in parallel and evade statistical analysis of many malware detection systems. 

Three Kaspersky products – Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business and Kaspersky Small Office Security for corporate users, and Kaspersky Standard for consumers were examined in the test. They gained 30 out of possible 30 points and earned the certificates: “Advanced Approved Endpoint Protection” for business security solutions and “Advanced Certified” for consumer product. 

Kaspersky solutions constantly prove their anti-ransomware effectiveness. This year, for example, in February, April  and June Advanced Threat Protection tests by AV-TEST Kaspersky received perfect scores. Previously, Kaspersky also demonstrated the highest quality of protection against complex threats in various tests in February, April, August, October and December of 2022, November of 2021, as well as in the complex research in June-August 2021.

“In 10 scenarios of the August test round, the attackers deployed a variety of techniques, such as DNS TXT Record, encrypted connections,…

Does Australia Need A ‘Cyber Trust’ Label For Security Products? – channelnews

/in


Australian homes as well as businesses, are facing a crisis especially households or factories that have invested in high-risk Chinese products or have devices with the Chinese manufactured Quectel or Fibcom modules built in with questions now being asked to whether Australia needs a Cyber Trust Mark” label for devices sold at retailers as well as IOT devices sold into businesses.

What Australians are not realising is that they are increasingly buying Internet-connected “smart” devices that are vulnerable to hackers claim experts.

Currently Officeworks is selling security cameras manufactured by Chinese Company Hikvision who own the consumer brand EZVIZ. Hikvision products are banned in Australia, the USA, the UK, and several other Countries.

Another questionable Chinese consumer brand is Anker manufactured Eufy who security cameras are sold at Bunnings and JB Hi Fi.

Because of new security risks experts are now claiming that beefed-up security standards will be necessary to address the growing threats from criminals, hostile governments such as South Korea and Chinese hacking groups as well as Russian and East European hacking gangs as well as State sponsored hacking teams who have been identified as being responsible for major hack attacks on Countries such as Australia, the USA, France and the UK.

Public fears about cybersecurity were stoked in Australia earlier this year with attacks on Optus Telstra, and Medibank, this has seen Australian authorities move to set up security task forces, with the Federal Government currently recruiting people with hacking experience.

Closer to home, hackers have used Ring cameras and Eufy products to spy on kids and even lure them into creepy conversations.

Only this week a mother reported hearing a voice talking to their child in a cot at an NSW home early in the morning.

In the USA Mike Gallagher, the chairman of the House Select Committee on China, is among a growing group of policymakers focused on so-called “Internet of Things,” or IoT devices, which generally are understood as non-computer devices with a web connection.

Examples range from smart TVs, wearable fitness trackers, doorbell cameras, and thermostats to control…
