Palo Alto Networks has been recognized once again by one of the most well-known and respected independent, third-party cybersecurity evaluation organizations, AV-Comparatives. Cortex XDR<\/a> was identified as a \u201cStrategic Leader\u201d in the 2nd annual Endpoint Prevention and Response (EPR) evaluation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With an overall active prevention score of 100%, Cortex XDR has received unbeaten scores two years in a row<\/a> while maintaining one of the lowest Total Cost of Ownership scores, despite being one of the only vendors to provide extended threat detection and response for endpoint, network, cloud, identity and additional data sources.<\/p>\n

AV-Comparatives\u2019 Endpoint Prevention and Response evaluation is relatively new. In just its second year, it continues to be a welcomed change to traditional tests by focusing on real-world scenarios, blending the critical importance of prevention with detection and response. With the rise of EDR in the endpoint security market, much has been made about detection and response. However, outright prevention is the best line of defense, and Cortex XDR continually outperforms the competition in the area of active prevention. In the 2021 EPR evaluation, Cortex XDR achieved a perfect 50 out of 50 for Overall Active Prevention.<\/p>\n
