Exceptional performance on an exceptionally tough test
SE Labs tested the two solutions from March 5 to April 1, 2025, using real-world attack scenarios by 15 known ransomware families. Those attacks, which implemented well-known threat actor tactics, techniques and procedures, inundated a network built by SE Labs with 556 ransomware payload files with both known and unknown variants. According to the two test reports, Advanced Security Test Symantec Endpoint Security Complete and Advanced Security Test Carbon Black Cloud, the solutions detected and blocked every attack, including living off the land attacks, from executing across the entire attack chain.
The tests show how Symantec Endpoint Security Complete and Carbon Black Cloud can proactively block the specific tools and techniques used by attackers to carry out ransomware attacks, like encrypting data on key servers and exfiltrating it. What you see in these real-world testing scenarios is a preventative approach that helps stop attacks before the ransomware can execute, rather than just detecting it after the fact.
This is key. Because while remediation is important, the critical step is blocking what an attacker plans to do next in the attack chain. This recognition from SE Labs is so critical because it validates our unrivaled ability to protect organizations against ransomware and other threats–and in an exhaustive and extraordinarily challenging test.
Simon Edwards, Chief Executive Officer at SE Labs, today offered congratulations to Broadcom “for both of its solutions achieving a perfect score in detecting and protecting against ransomware in our rigorous test.” Edwards also observed that “while the number of ransomware families continues to grow, these solutions clearly demonstrate that organisations don’t have to become a victim to this persistent threat. This award recognizes Broadcom’s excellent performance in a massively challenging test.”
