The AV-TEST Product Review and Certification Report tests on three categories: protection, performance, and usability. The scores listed below are for the protection category which has two scores: real world testing and the AV-TEST reference set (known as "prevalent malware").
**Real-World testing** as defined by AV-TEST refers to protection against zero-day malware attacks, inclusive of web and email threats.
**Real-World testing** as defined by AV-TEST attempts to test protection against zero-day malware attacks, inclusive of web and email threats.
**Prevalent malware** as defined by AV-TEST refers to detection of widespread and prevalent malware discovered in the last four weeks.
Note: Microsoft sees a wider and broader set of threats beyond just what’s tested in the AV-TEST evaluation.

AV-Comparatives is an independent organization offering systematic testing for security software such as PC/Mac-based antivirus products and mobile security solutions.
The **Real-World Protection Test (Enterprise)** as defined by AV-Comparatives evaluates the “real-world” protection capabilities with default settings. The goal is to find out whether the security software protects the computer by either hindering the malware from changing any systems or remediating all changes if any were made.

The **Malware Protection Test Enterprise** as defined by AV-Comparatives assesses a security program’s ability to protect a system against infection by malicious files before, during or after execution. It is only tested every *six months*.

## To what extent are tests representative of protection in the real world?
It is important to remember that the capabilities within [Windows Defender ATP](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/windows-atp?ocid=cx-blog-mmpc) 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/) 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 what’s tested in the AV evaluations highlighted above. The capabilities within [Windows Defender ATP](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/windows-atp?ocid=cx-blog-mmpc) 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/) 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.
There are other technologies in nearly every endpoint security suite that address some of the latest and most sophisticated threats, but are not represented in AV tests. 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-blog-mmpc), 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).
