Check Point solution achieves 100% detection in MITRE test

Check Point Software Technologies has announced that its Infinity XDR/XPR solution achieved a 100% detection rate in the 2024 MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations.

The evaluations provide organisations with objective insights into security solutions' detection capabilities by emulating real-world threat scenarios. During this process, Check Point's Infinity XDR/XPR detected all 57 applicable attack steps, including 56 detections at the technique level, highlighting its proficiency in not only detecting and preventing threats but also in delivering detailed information to security teams.

Ofir Israel, Vice President of Threat Prevention at Check Point Software Technologies, commented on the achievement, stating: "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. 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 tested security products against tactics, techniques, and procedures used by two ransomware groups, CL0P and Lockbit. The evaluation consisted of 59 distinct substeps aimed at assessing detection capabilities against complex ransomware attack sequences.

Key highlights from the test results include a 98% detection rate at the technique level, illustrating the solution's high level of accuracy and ability to provide actionable intelligence. Furthermore, the solution achieved a 100% overall detection rate, indicating comprehensive threat detection capability to protect users from advanced cyber threats.

Wes Farris, Director of Information Security at Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD, lauded the efficacy of Check Point's solution, saying: "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. 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."
