Scan Speed Optimization and Caching Technologies: A Comparison of Endpoint Security for the Enterprise

AV-Test performed a comparative review of five security solutions for the enterprise. The goal was to determine whether speed optimization and modern caching technologies are used by today’s malware detection engines. For this, an on-demand scan performance test (with a default scan of the system partition) was considered. McAfee commissioned AV-Test to run an independent test of McAfee, Kaspersky, Sophos, Symantec, and Trend Micro offerings.
