How to Test Next-Generation Antivirus Solutions
Deciding on an endpoint security solution can be difficult. Get this eBook for insight on requirements you should look for when selecting a solution and preparation tips for running a test-drive.

To configure your evaluation environment, start by selecting a sample of different types of machines you manage, such as Windows 7, 8, and 10 workstations or laptops. Image these test machines based on your organization’s standard configuration. Additionally, familiarize yourself with the cloud console and configuration requirements of the products you are evaluating, considering factors like last-mile connectivity and how to protect cloud-based endpoints.
What use cases should I consider for testing?
When evaluating next-generation antivirus solutions, consider establishing use cases such as phishing attacks, infected bring-your-own-device (BYOD) equipment, latent ransomware, and targeted or insider threats. For instance, testing an infected BYOD machine requires prior exposure to malware, while ransomware tests can utilize simulation packages to avoid real risks.
How can I effectively evaluate multiple products?
To evaluate multiple products consistently, develop a well-defined scenario for each use case that outlines the steps involved and what the antivirus solution should demonstrate. Create a scorecard to rate each product on a scale of 1 to 10 based on its functionality in meeting your operational requirements. Ensure that you apply the same standards across all products to maintain fairness in your evaluation.
