REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Dec. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a pioneer and global leader of cyber security solutions, today announced that Infinity XDR/XPR achieved a 100% detection rate in the rigorous 2024 MITRE ATT&CK® Evaluations. During the evaluation, Infinity XDR/XPR detected all 57 applicable attack steps, with 56 detections at the technique level. This demonstrates Infinity XDR/XPR capabilities at not only detecting and preventing threats, but also in providing security teams with the data they need to understand threats in detail so they can respond effectively.
“In an era where cyber attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated and frequent, the recent MITRE Evaluations results underscore Check Point’s position as a leading innovator in threat detection and prevention,” said Ofir Israel, Vice President of Threat Prevention at Check Point Software Technologies. “Check Point Infinity XDR/XPR detects and blocks sophisticated, multi-stage cyber-attacks that combine clever data theft, sneaky evasion techniques, and devastating ransomware across the entire enterprise environment.”
The MITRE ATT&CK® Evaluations provide organizations with objective insights into security solutions’ detection capabilities. This vendor-independent testing program assesses how security products detect sophisticated attack behaviors by emulating real-world threat scenarios and techniques.
For the 2024 evaluation, MITRE emulated the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by two ransomware groups: CL0P and Lockbit. Our evaluation consisted of 59 distinct substeps across various attack stages, providing a comprehensive assessment of detection capabilities against complex ransomware attack sequences.
The test results showcased several key highlights, including:
- Unmatched Precision: 98% of detections occurred at the technique level—the highest level of accuracy—demonstrating the solution’s capability to deliver detailed, actionable intelligence against sophisticated attacks
- 100% Overall Detection Rate: Successfully identified all 57 applicable sub-steps, ensuring comprehensive threat detection to safeguard users from advanced cyber threats
- Industry-Leading Precision: Technique-level detections deliver unmatched accuracy and actionable intelligence, helping users quickly respond to sophisticated attacks with confidence
- Perfect Coverage: Achieved flawless performance across all testable attack scenarios, providing users with reliable protection against ransomware, data breaches, and other endpoint threats
“An unexpected benefit of Check Point has been for our security operations. With the Check Point XDR/XPR solution, we have single-pane-of-glass visibility into everything,” said Wes Farris, Director of Information Security, Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD. “The threat detection and event correlation has proven to be highly accurate and allowed us to pick up threats we otherwise would not have seen. Now we can correlate security data across all platforms and see it in one place. It’s been instrumental in streamlining our investigation workflows.”
