Cynet's autonomous cybersecurity platform was the only cybersecurity solution in the world to achieve a perfect score in the first round of the most credible cybersecurity assessment, the 2024 MITRE ATT&CK Evaluation.
- 100% Protection: The Cynet platform blocks every step of the attack before malicious actions can occur.
- 100% Detection Visibility: The Cynet platform detected every attack action without delay and without the need to further optimize detection settings.
- 100% coverage of attacker techniques: the Cynet platform provided detailed information for all 77 of the considered techniques without any additional changes to the settings.
- The platform crowned its complete success with zero false positives.
Cynet, provider of the automated cyber threat detection and response platform, represented by CREAPLUS in Slovenia and the DACH and Western Balkans region, is the only company in the world to have achieved a perfect score in the most credible assessment of cyber security solutions for 2024 by MITRE ATT&CK. With 100% performance, it confirms that the Cynet platform is the ideal solution for small and medium-sized enterprises with limited cybersecurity budgets and human resources, as well as for managed response and detection service providers seeking to maximize productivity and quality of service.
"Cynet made history a year ago when it became the first company in the world to achieve 100% reliability in the MITRE ATT&CK assessment. This year, the company has repeated the result and further separated itself from its reputable competitors, outperforming the top competitors by more than 10 percent," said Mitja Trampuž, CEO of CREAPLUS.
The MITRE ATT&CK assessment is the only independent test that reveals the true effectiveness of cybersecurity solutions against actual cyber-attack tactics and techniques. The test is conducted by the nonprofit MITRE Foundation, which maintains the world's reference and most comprehensive cyber threat database. Its annual ATT&CK assessment is considered the fairest and most unbiased technical test of cybersecurity solutions. The results of the assessment provide credible insight into how well a security solution detects cyber threats in the real world, how it intercepts and responds to them, and what information about the detections it provides to its operators.
"In evaluating MITRE ATT&CK, it is important to note that the Foundation does not announce winners. It provides assessments and insights to help cybersecurity investment decision makers choose the solution that best meets the challenges and expectations of their IT or security team and the organization as a whole," Trampuž said.
Cynet provided 100% detection visibility, perfectly detecting each attack action without configuration changes or delays. In this year's evaluation, the attack sequence was executed in 16 steps, divided into 80 malicious sub-steps. During Cynet's testing, 3 sub-steps were not executed due to technical reasons and are counted as N/A (not counted), resulting in a total of 77 sub-steps executed, all of which were detected by Cynet, achieving 100% detection on both Windows, MacOS and Linux devices. All 77 detections were made without the need for any changes to the configuration.
Cynet's solution also provided 100% protection, blocking all attack attempts. In the case of Cynet, MITRE performed all 10 steps of the attack, while nearly half of the participating vendors were unable to test all 10 steps of the attack due to technical issues. Cynet blocked each of the 10 attack steps, preventing malicious activity. It further validated its effectiveness by preventing and blocking 100% of all attacks on the first attempt. In fact, when evaluating prevention performance, it was the only one to block the execution of each of the 21 sub-steps of the attack used in the first attempt.
The results of the MITRE ATT&CK 2024 evaluation confirm that the Cynet Autonomous All-in-One Cybersecurity Platform is the ideal solution for SMBs that lack adequate cybersecurity staff, as well as for cybersecurity service providers whose teams must support a growing number of customers in the face of increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
As Mitja Trampuž added, Cynet is the most cost-effective solution in terms of cyber protection effectiveness. In addition to regional technical support, CREAPLUS also provides training for platform administrators and security analysts, as well as installation and deployment assistance for partner companies and end users.
