Carbon Black Only Vendor to Secure Perfect
Prevention Score in NSS Labs’ Advanced Endpoint Protection (AEP) Test; Stopped
All Attacks in Test

Carbon Black achieves 100% block rate and 100%
on total coverage

SINGAPORE — February 20, 2017— Carbon Black, a leader
in next-generation endpoint security, today announced it achieved 100% block
rate and 100% total coverage score in NSS Labs’ Advanced Endpoint Protection
(AEP) Test, securing the distinguished rating: “recommended for security
effectiveness” by NSS Labs. Carbon Black was the only vendor to secure a
perfect prevention score and stop all attacks included in the test.

According to its report, “NSS Labs performed the industry’s most
rigorous test to date of leading Advanced Endpoint Protection (AEP) solutions.
Products from 13 different vendors were tested across a multitude of attack
threat vectors targeting a very dynamic enterprise class endpoint attack
surface. In addition, the endpoint products were evaluated for their resistance
against several evasion categories and false positive testing.”

By stopping all attacks in NSS Labs’ test, Cb Protection
demonstrated it can save customers millions of dollars in breach-related
expenses. According to the 2016 Ponemon Cost of a Data Breach Study, the average
cost of a successful data breach is $4 million.

“Critical systems, such as data centers and fixed-functions
devices, are among the most breached assets and require the strongest
protection,” said Michael Viscuso, Carbon Black’s chief technology officer and
co-founder. “Traditional defenses, such as legacy antivirus, are ineffective at
stopping advanced attacks against these systems. NSS Labs’ AEP competitive test
shows Cb Protection provides the strongest form of lock-down security.”

Carbon Black’s Cb Protection was the most effective
application-control solution tested, combining application whitelisting, memory
protection, file integrity monitoring, device control and tamper protection for
the strongest form of system lockdown. Cb Protection is designed to secure
critical systems, such as: servers, fixed function devices, regulated
industries and highly targeted end-users.
