Malwarebytes Awarded Highest Rated Endpoint Protection for Seven Quarters in a Row


Rigorous tests by third-party research lab MRG Effitas demonstrate superior ability to detect and block real-world threats

SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Malwarebytes, a global leader in real-time cyber protection, today announced that MRG Effitas, a world leader in independent IT research, gave Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection (EP) the highest possible score (100%) in its endpoint security efficacy assessment. As of the latest Q1 2023 test results, Malwarebytes is the only vendor to win every MRG Effitas certification and award for the seventh consecutive quarter, outperforming other solutions in its ability to spot and stop zero-day threats, ransomware, banking malware, fileless attacks and exploits. Centered around nine rounds of rigorous testing, MRG Effitas’ assessment criteria are the best way to evaluate endpoint security vendors today.

Malwarebytes’ consistent high performance underscores our ability to spot and stop known threats as well as zero-day and polymorphic malware,” said Joe Hartmann, Senior Director of Threat Labs, Malwarebytes. “For under-resourced organizations that need endpoint security that just works, these results are a powerful tool to help them select the right protection for their business. Malwarebytes’ focus on leveraging machine learning and AI to automatically create detections means our solutions benefit from the speed and vast data consumption possible with these technologies. MRG Effitas’ quarterly testing alongside its new real-time testing solution Tempus, helps Malwarebytes’ protection stay ahead of the curve.”

MRG Effitas is an independent research and testing lab that evaluates endpoint protection solutions. The 360° Assessment & Certification by MRG Effitas isn’t like other tests that just evaluate traditional file-based attacks: they unleash real-world fileless cases and exploitation techniques, live botnets and credit card-skimming attacks on vendor products as well. In its latest report, MRG Effitas recognized Malwarebytes EP for its advanced security capabilities, particularly in detecting and preventing complex malware attacks. Malwarebytes EP is the engine that powers its endpoint detection and…

AMD reveals an EPYC 50 flaws – 23 of them rated High severity. Intel has 25 problems, too • The Register


Microsoft may have given us a mere 55 CVEs to worry about on November’s Patch Tuesday, but AMD and Intel have topped that number with fixes for their products .

AMD alone dropped 50 new CVEs on Thursday, 23 of them rated of “High” concern, meaning they’re rated at between 7.0 and 8.9 on the the-point Common Vulnerability Scoring System.

Let’s start with the 27 flaws in the AMD Graphics Driver for Windows 10 – 18 of them rated High – because at least they’re in software and Microsoft and Adobe’s patch issuance cadence means readers could be in the mood to fix code.

Detailed here, the flaws allow escalation of privilege, denial of service, the ability for an unprivileged user to drop malicious DLL files, unauthorized code execution, memory corruption, information disclosure

In its acknowledgements to those who found the bugs, AMD hat-tips a chap named “Lucas Bouillot, of the Apple Media Products RedTeam”. So now we know Apple has that team.

AMD’s EPYC processors – all three generations of ‘em – have 22 flaws, four of them rated High. Those flaws, and AMD’s descriptions of them, are:

  • CVE-2020-12954 – A side effect of an integrated chipset option may be able to be used by an attacker to bypass SPI ROM protections, allowing unauthorized SPI ROM modification.
  • CVE-2020-12961 – A potential vulnerability exists in AMD Platform Security Processor (PSP) that may allow an attacker to zero any privileged register on the System Management Network which may lead to bypassing SPI ROM protections.
  • CVE-2021-26331 – AMD System Management Unit (SMU) contains a potential issue where a malicious user may be able to manipulate mailbox entries leading to arbitrary code execution.
  • CVE-2021-26335 – Improper input and range checking in the Platform Security Processor (PSP) boot loader image header may allow for an attacker to use attack-controlled values prior to signature validation potentially resulting…
