ICSA Q2 2021 Advanced Threat Defense (ATD) Certification Testing Report

SonicWall Capture ATP received its second 100% perfect score from ICSA Labs Advanced Threat Detection (ATD) certification testing.

SonicWall Capture ATP received a 100% score from ICSA Labs’ Advanced Threat Protection certification testing in Q2 2021 — the second perfect score earned by SonicWall’s multi-engine cloud sandbox service in a row, and the sixth consecutive certification for Capture ATP overall.

Capture ATP uses patented Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection (RTDMI) technology to catch the most advanced and unknown malware faster than traditional behavior-based sandboxing methods — all with fewer false positives. Capture ATP’s most recent testing cycle is a testimony to this effectiveness. Capture ATP detected 100% of new threats without issuing any false positives. SonicWall Capture ATP went through 1,144 test runs over 33 days. These included 544 malicious samples, 216 of which were less than four hours old.

Capture ATP not only identified all the malicious samples but also did not flag any 600 innocent apps that were randomly added by testers to the test runs. SonicWall Capture ATP was 100% efficient in the Q2 2021 test cycle on 33 of 33 days.

These are only a few examples of Capture ATP’s machine-learning potential. As Capture ATP with RTDMI technology continues to improve, it becomes more vigilant and intelligent. According to SonicWall Capture Labs, since its introduction, RTDMI has identified significantly more threats each year compared to the previous year. For example, in the first six months of 2021, SonicWall technology identified 54% more never-before-seen threats than it did in the first half of 2020.

What is ICSA Advanced Threat Defense Testing?

Standard ICSA Labs Advanced Threat Defense testing (ATD) evaluates vendor solutions that can detect new threats that traditional security products fail to notice. Verizon’s Data Breach Investigations Report shows that ICSA uncovers malicious threats to enterprises along with the primary threat vectors that can lead to breaches in enterprise testing. These tests evaluate the effectiveness of vendor ATD solutions in detecting these threats while minimizing false positives.
