Nine Enterprise Security Solutions Certified in AV-Comparatives 2026 EDR Detection Validation Test

Published

on

Independent evaluation delivers unambiguous results on detection coverage, telemetry quality, and SOC usability across leading EDR, XDR, and MDR products

INNSBRUCK, Austria, May 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AV-Comparatives today published the results of its 2026 EDR Detection Validation Test. Nine enterprise solutions achieved certification in one of the most in-depth independent evaluations of detection capabilities currently available to the market.

 

 

The test was designed to answer a question that matters increasingly to enterprise buyers: not whether a product detects an attack, but how clearly, consistently, and usefully it does so. The 2026 results provide that answer in a form that leaves no room for interpretation.

Clear results for analysts, administrators, and decision-makers

Forensic analysts, SOC administrators, and enterprise decision-makers face a common challenge: detection data is often abundant, but rarely clear. AV-Comparatives’ methodology addresses this directly. Every step of a realistic 14-stage Advanced Persistent Threat scenario is evaluated individually, with explicit distinction between Active Response (immediate alerts) and Telemetry (visibility requiring investigation). The outcome is a transparent, step-by-step view of what each product sees, how it presents that information, and what effort is required to reconstruct an attack chain.

There is no cherry-picking and no interpretation gap. Products are evaluated in detection-only mode to ensure prevention mechanisms do not distort the picture, and dedicated Signal-to-Noise scenarios assess behaviour during benign administrative activity. The result is a benchmark that mirrors operational reality in the SOC, where both missed signals and excessive noise carry real cost.

Certified products

The following nine solutions achieved certification in the 2026 test round: Bitdefender GravityZone Business Security Enterprise, ESET PROTECT Elite, Fortinet FortiEDR, G DATA 365 | MXDR, Genian Insight E, Kaspersky EDR Expert (on-premises), ManageEngine Endpoint Central with EDR, Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR Pro, and Sangfor Athena AI-Native EPP.

Only certified products are publicly listed. Non-certified vendors receive detailed feedback to support further development.

AI: from stronger protection to more efficient SOCs

AI has been part of the vendor arsenal for years, quietly strengthening protection layers across the industry. The 2026 evaluation makes clear that its role is now expanding: AI is increasingly used to summarize detection results, improve their readability, and streamline analyst workflows. The direction of travel is unmistakable – from boosting protection to making SOCs measurably more efficient. For administrators and forensic experts working under constant pressure, that shift is as welcome as it is overdue.

Harvey Unveils SNIPER: The World’s First Intelligent Drill Press

Published

on

By

New Intelligent Drill Press uses advanced computer vision, robotic motion control, and the Proactive Safety Protection System to eliminate the alignment, accuracy, and safety problems that have defined drill press work for generations.

LOS ANGELES, July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Harvey Woodworking, a leading manufacturer of precision woodworking machinery, today launched SNIPER, the industry’s first Intelligent Drill Press — combining advanced computer vision, dual-axis robotic positioning, and the Proactive Safety Protection System in one integrated platform.

SNIPER is engineered to solve the three problems that have plagued drill press users for generations: cumbersome bit alignment, inaccurate positioning, and operator safety. Where every drill press built in the last century has been passive — relying on the operator to measure, mark, align, and correct by hand — SNIPER actively partners with the woodworker, recognizing the intended drilling point and automatically positioning the spindle over the target.

“Woodworkers shouldn’t have to spend their best hours fighting the machine for accuracy,” said Jack Xu, Founder of Harvey. “A single misaligned hole can ruin a $2,000 walnut tabletop. With SNIPER, we set out to make the machine serve the craft — not interrupt it.”

Three breakthrough technologies in one machine

Sniper Vision™ Targeting System identifies the user’s intended drilling point in real time, replacing the manual cycle of measuring, marking, and test-drilling that consumes most drill press setup time.

Robotic Dual-Axis Servo Motion Platform automatically positions the spindle on the X and Y axes with repeatable accuracy — delivering consistent results across cabinet hardware, shelf pins, dowel joinery, and custom furniture runs.

Proactive Safety Protection System uses vision-based monitoring to watch the danger zone around the spindle. When a hand is detected in the unsafe region, the system pauses operation or triggers a hardware-level safety stop.

Together, these systems form what Harvey calls an Embodied Intelligence approach — capability built into the motion of the tool itself.

Pricing and availability

SNIPER is built for professional woodworkers, custom furniture shops, cabinet makers, and advanced hobbyists. Now on sale for $6,790.00 at harveywoodworking.com/products/sniper-sd-20-intelligent-drill-press and through authorized dealers.

ABOUT HARVEY

Harvey builds high-performance woodworking machinery for serious craftsmen, custom furniture makers, and modern workshops, with a focus on precision, innovation, and user-centered engineering. Learn more at www.harveywoodworking.com.
