VMware, Inc. announced the results of its successful completion of the MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK Evaluation.
VMware security solutions were put to the test in their detection and
prevention of attack techniques used by Wizard Spider, a financially
motivated cybercriminal group, and Sandworm, a destructive threat group
that the U.S. and U.K. have attributed to Russia.
Modern
cyberattacks are sophisticated, multi-step assaults launched by bad
actors who disguise themselves in the noise of multi-cloud environments.
During the evaluation, VMware delivered critical preventions in 100% of
the cases tested with zero configuration changes. The combination of
VMware endpoint and network security provides customers with effective
security that is easier to operate and designed specifically for the
threats businesses and governments face today.
"MITRE
Engenuity's rigorous testing reflects the type of threats that our
customers are seeing in the real world, where there are no redo's," said
Scott Lundgren, Chief Technology Officer of VMware's Security Business
Unit. "With highly effective detection and prevention, our results
demonstrate the power of VMware's comprehensive endpoint and network
visibility, which not only works out of the box, but also works the
first time."
Key MITRE ATT&CK Evaluation results include:
- VMware demonstrated comprehensive endpoint and network visibility into every step of the attacks emulated -
VMware continues to pioneer the use of both endpoint detection and
response (EDR) and network detection and response (NDR) to deliver vital
lateral movement and privilege escalation detections.
- VMware delivered critical preventions in 100% of the cases tested -
Across all the scenarios tested, VMware prevented every attack using
the same lightweight agent and cloud-based console as our
industry-leading detection and response capabilities.
- VMware required zero configuration changes for maximum out-of-the-box efficacy -
As the volume and sophistication of cyberattacks increase, it's
critical that enterprise security solutions deliver value and scale on
day one. VMware's security solutions worked out-of-the-box, stopping
today's most sophisticated threats with no extra tuning needed.
