A test commissioned by Zscaler Inc.
and performed by AV-TEST GmbH
In order to ensure a fair review, Zscaler did not supply any samples (such as URLs or metadata) and did not influence or have any prior knowledge of the samples being tested. The test focused on the detection rate of links pointing directly to PE malware (e.g. EXE files), links pointing to other forms of malicious files (e.g. HTML, JavaScript), phishing URLs as well as false positives of websites and downloaded files (installers). A total of 23,729 different samples were used.
Summary of Test Results
- In prevalent malware testing, a blocking rate of 99.7% was delivered by using the Zscaler Internet Access Security Stack and Advanced Cloud Sandbox
- In real-world testing, based on blocking of known recent indicators, a testing protection rate of 97.7% was delivered by using the Zscaler Internet Access Security Stack and Advanced Cloud Sandbox
- In real-word testing, the Zscaler Cloud Effect, which shares threat intelligence across the platform, helped to increase protection from 94.4% to 97.7%
- Using Advanced Cloud Sandbox, coupled with the use of the Zscaler Cloud Platform and Cloud Effect, provided the best overall detection results
