It&#8217;s the top tier of AV-Comparatives&#8216; CyberRisk Quadrant, and only vendors that clear a strict combined Active\/Passive Response threshold reach it. In 2026, AV-Comparatives raised that threshold from 90% to 92% and introduced more advanced, AI-assisted attack scenarios to reflect how attacker tooling is evolving.

But they test detection in isolation when prevention capabilities must be turned off. For organizations that want to understand how their Endpoint Protection (EPP) and EDR work together \u2014 and what that combination actually costs to own and operate \u2014 AV-Comparatives&#8216; EPR evaluation offers a compelling alternative. It&#8217;s the more complete picture for anyone making a real-world procurement decision.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">What AV-Comparatives actually tested<\/h2>\n<p>The EPR Test doesn&#8217;t check for known malware signatures. It runs full attack chains the way a real adversary would, built on techniques from the MITRE ATT&amp;CK Enterprise framework: phishing entry, privilege escalation, lateral movement, and data theft. This year&#8217;s evaluation covered 50 of these scenarios across 14 enterprise products.<\/p>\n<p>Each scenario tracks whether a product stops the attacker at entry, disrupts them during lateral movement, or fails to prevent the breach entirely. The CyberRisk Quadrant that AV-Comparatives derives from the test includes only products that clear the Certified Leader threshold \u2014 so every product that appears there, WithSecure included, is a genuine top-tier result.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The EPR evaluation put security vendor solutions through 50 simulated targeted attack scenarios, covering techniques used in real advanced persistent threat (APT) campaigns. Each scenario was structured across three attack phases:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Compromise and foothold phase:<\/strong> The initial intrusion attempt. Can the product stop the attacker before they establish a presence?<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Internal propagation phase:<\/strong> If the attacker gets in, can the product detect and disrupt lateral movement before the threat spreads?<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Asset breach phase:<\/strong> If propagation isn&#8217;t stopped, can the product prevent the attacker from reaching their target?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">At each phase, AV-Comparatives logged whether the product blocked the attack automatically, detected it and flagged it for manual response, or missed it entirely. Critically, the test also factored in cost \u2014 purchase price, operational overhead, and the calculated breach savings \u2014 to produce a realistic total cost of ownership (TCO) over five years. This is what makes the EPR evaluation different from most independent tests: it measures value, not just capability.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">WithSecure Elements XDR stopped every attack chain<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">WithSecure Elements XDR prevented 100% of the 50 scenarios, containing every attack before it reached the asset-breach phase. No breach occurred in any test run.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Just as important, that result came without added operational cost. Zero extra burden from false positives or workflow delays \u2014 a common trade-off when products push prevention rates higher by generating more noise for security teams to sort through. The test also measured how quickly WithSecure responded during the initial phase (Phase 1) of each attack: 96.0% early active response and 98.7% early passive response.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In Internal Propagation (Phase 2) WithSecure achieved an Active Response rate of 100% and a Passive Response, rate of 100% across the progressed scenarios. With all remaining threats mitigated in this phase, none advanced to Phase 3.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The report specifically commended WithSecure Elements XDR\u00a0for:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\">\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">WithSecure Elements XDR did well at handling threats targeted towards enterprise users, before the threats could<br \/>\nprogress inside and infiltrate the organisation\u2019s network.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">The product demonstrated several safeguards that helped in<br \/>\nprotecting the enterprise systems and network against the scenarios we tested.<\/li>\n<li>The product\u2019s management console was easy to use, intuitive, and provided contextual data useful to SOC analysts in<br \/>\ndetermining which threats to prioritize.<\/li>\n<li>The product had different response options for mitigated threats, and<br \/>\ninformation for the SOC analyst to further investigate\/inspect.<\/li>\n<li>The product had good mapping to MITRE\u2019s TTPs, thus providing low-level SOC analysts with the data needed to<br \/>\ninvestigate further and escalate when necessary.<\/li>\n<li>Alerts were prioritized and aggregated, to minimize noise from all<br \/>\nthe alerts generated. The product can be easily configured and deployed in a domain or workgroup environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">A five-year track record behind the result<\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">This is the first Certified Leader result under the WithSecure name, but not the company&#8217;s first time earning recognition in this test. As F-Secure Business, the same enterprise line was certified in AV-Comparatives&#8216; 2021 EPR Test, back when this distinction was called &#8222;Strategic Leader&#8220; rather than &#8222;Certified Leader,&#8220; putting five years of track record behind this result.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Over the years, WithSecure has also picked up other AV-Comparatives certifications, including Advanced+ Performance and Advanced Real-World Protection for Windows, Approved Mac Security for macOS, and Approved Mobile Security for Android.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">Why the result holds up: Broad Context Detection and European delivery<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">WithSecure attributes the outcome to Broad Context Detection\u2122, which pulls signals from endpoints, identities, and cloud into a single incident view, mapped to MITRE ATT&amp;CK and correlated by WithSecure Luminen\u2122, the company&#8217;s AI layer. Rather than treating each signal in isolation, Broad Context Detection connects them into one picture of an attack as it unfolds \u2014 which is what let Elements XDR contain every scenario before it progressed.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">WithSecure&#8217;s European base matters here too. Elements XDR is developed, delivered, and supported from Europe, a factor increasingly relevant to public-sector organizations and any business navigating data-residency-sensitive regulation such as NIS2 and DORA.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n    <div class=\"wp-component-testimonial wp-component-testimonial--flexible-content wp-block-two-column-block__column-testimonial\">\n                <div class=\"wp-component-testimonial__body\">\n            <p class=\"wp-component-testimonial__quote\">\n                &#8222;Independent results like this matter because they&#8217;re not ours to grade. AV-Comparatives put fourteen enterprise products through fifty real attack chains, and our platform contained every one of them without adding noise for the teams running it. \r\n\r\nThat&#8217;s the whole point of building one platform instead of stitching several together: less to manage, and nothing missed. It&#8217;s also a strong signal for the MSPs and enterprises building their security operations on top of us \u2014 the platform holds up under the kind of pressure their own customers actually face.&#8220;            <\/p>\n                            <div class=\"wp-component-testimonial__cite-row\">\n                                        <div class=\"wp-component-testimonial__cite-text\">\n                                                    <div class=\"wp-component-testimonial__cite\">\n                                TL Viswanathan                            <\/div>\n                                                                            <p class=\"wp-component-testimonial__cite-job\">\n                                Chief Product Officer, WithSecure                            <\/p>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-component-paragraph wp-block-two-column-block__paragraph \">\n    <h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">Read the full report<\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Full details of the 2026 EPR Test are available at <a href=\"https:\/\/av-comparatives.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">av-comparatives.org<\/a>.
