Empirical data from individual Test Reports and Comparative Reports is used to create NSS Labs’ unique Security Value Map™ (SVM). The SVM illustrates the relative value of security investment by mapping the Security Effectiveness and the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) per Protected Agent (Value) of tested product configurations.

The following products were evaluated:

  • Bitdefender GravityZone Elite v6.2.31.985
  • Carbon Black Cb Defense v3.0.2.2
  • Cisco AMP for Endpoints v6.0.5
  • Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection v3.18.0

To learn how vendors performed, download individual Test Reports. NSS clients can also download the Comparative Reports on Security and Total Cost of Ownership.

As with all NSS Labs group tests, there was no fee for participation. In addition, the Test Methodology applied is in the public domain to provide transparency and to help enterprises understand the results.
