SAN CARLOS, Calif., April 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a leading provider of cyber security solutions globally, today announced its results from the MITRE ATT&CK Endpoint Protection Product Evaluation. The company’s complete endpoint security solution, Harmony Endpoint, successfully detected 100% of the unique techniques used during the evaluations. Furthermore, Harmony Endpoint achieved the highest technique detection level for 96% of the unique techniques used in the evaluations.

Each year, MITRE Engenuity conducts independent evaluations of cybersecurity products to help industry and government institutions make better decisions to combat security threats and improve their threat detection capabilities. ATT&CK is a MITRE-developed knowledge base of adversary tactics and techniques based on real-world observations, helping security operations find gaps in visibility, defensive tools and processes to improve their network security.

This year, Harmony Endpoint was evaluated, along with 29 other vendors, for its ability to detect attack techniques employed by the sophisticated threat groups, Carbanak and FIN7. These two threat groups are responsible for the theft of more than $1 billion across hundreds of businesses, by using sophisticated malware and tactics to launch attacks over the past five years.

The results:

• Harmony Endpoint successfully detected 100% of unique techniques used during the tests
• For 96% of these unique techniques, Harmony Endpoint had the highest technique detection level
• During the ATT&CK Evaluations testing, Harmony Endpoint proved its ability to provide full context and end-to-end threat visibility to detect threats and act quickly, reducing the attack surface
  

The results underscore Harmony Endpoint's top-class visibility and threat detection capabilities. Furthermore, the results highlight Harmony Endpoint’s clear advantage as the only endpoint security solution in the market to provide the highest level of detection accuracy and contextualized visibility into real-world cyber threats, all while providing autonomous detection and response capabilities.
