It is important to remember that Microsoft sees a wider and broader set of threats beyond just whats tested in the AV evaluations highlighted above. The capabilities within [Windows Defender ATP](https://www.microsoft.com/WindowsForBusiness/windows-atp?ocid=cx-docs-avreports) also provide [additional layers of protection](https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/microsoftsecure/2017/12/11/detonating-a-bad-rabbit-windows-defender-antivirus-and-layered-machine-learning-defenses?ocid=cx-docs-avreports) that are not factored into AV tests. Using these tests, customer can view one aspect of their security suite but can't assess the complete protection of all the security features. It is important to remember that Microsoft sees a wider and broader set of threats beyond just whats tested in the antivirus evaluations highlighted above. Windows Defender AV encounters a staggering ~200 million samples every month, and the typical antivirus test consist of ~100 samples. The vastness of the malware landscape makes it extremely difficult to evaluate the quality of protection against real world threats.

There are other technologies in nearly every endpoint security suite not represented in antivirus tests that address some of the latest and most sophisticated threats. Isolating AV from the rest of the Windows Defender ATP stack discounts the synergy among components and creates conditions that dont reflect the real world. For example, the capabilities such as attack surface reduction and endpoint detection & response help prevent malware from getting onto devices in the first place.

Microsoft is highly engaged in working with several independent testers to evolve security testing to focus on the end-to-end security stack. In the meantime, customers can evaluate Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection in their own networks by signing up for a [90-day trial of Windows Defender ATP](https://www.microsoft.com/windowsforbusiness/windows-atp?ocid=cx-docs-avreports), or [enabling Preview features on existing tenants](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-atp/preview-settings-windows-defender-advanced-threat-protection?ocid=cx-docs-avreports).
