INNSBRUCK, Austria, Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As cyberattacks continue to challenge even the most resilient organisations, the need for clear, trustworthy, and openly documented security testing has never been more critical. AV-Comparatives, renowned for its independent and methodology-driven evaluations, reaffirms this importance by spotlighting the findings of its 2025 Endpoint Prevention and Response (EPR) Test and EDR Detection Validation Test.

These two enterprise-focused reports demonstrate that in a landscape filled with marketing claims, technical jargon, and complex product offerings, what organisations need most is transparent, comparable, and easy-to-understand insight into how security solutions perform under real-world conditions.

Transparency: The Foundation of Trust

The full methodology, scenarios, scoring, and per-step attack analyses for both tests are publicly available. The EPR Test can be accessed at:
https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/endpoint-prevention-response-epr-test-2025/

The EDR Detection Validation Test is available at:
https://www.av-comparatives.org/news/edr-detection-validation-2025/

By openly publishing these details, AV-Comparatives provides enterprises with complete visibility and transparency into how products were evaluated and why certain results were achieved. This openness ensures that security leaders, analysts, and technical teams can independently interpret the findings without relying on opaque summaries or selective reporting.

Comparability: Making Enterprise Decisions Practical

One of the greatest challenges facing CISOs and SOC leaders is the difficulty of comparing endpoint security products fairly. Many evaluations lack consistent standards or isolate techniques from real intrusion context.

AV-Comparatives addresses this by conducting full kill-chain attack simulations applied uniformly across all solutions, based on the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Every vendor faces the same adversary sequence, the same operational constraints, and the same scoring model. The result is a truly comparative view that helps organisations understand not just whether a technique was detected, but how each product performs throughout a realistic attack scenario.

This comparability is essential for selecting, deploying, and continuously improving enterprise defence strategies.

Reliability: Independent, Consistent, and Real-World Focused

The EPR Test 2025 evaluated 50 multi-stage attacks covering initial compromise through lateral movement, credential theft, command and control, exfiltration, and impact. Active blocking and passive detection modes were assessed alongside operational accuracy and five-year cost modelling for a 5,000-endpoint environment.

The EDR Detection Validation Test 2025 examined visibility and detection quality with prevention disabled, assessing whether SOC teams would receive coherent, actionable telemetry during all phases of a complex intrusion. Seven leading enterprise solutions participated, with five meeting the certification requirements.

Participants included all major players, such as Bitdefender, Check Point, CrowdStrike, Elastic, ESET, Fortinet, G DATA, Kaspersky, Palo Alto Networks, VIPRE, and two anonymous vendors who failed to reach the certification.

Across both reports, the emphasis remains consistent: real threats, realistic sequences, real results. This reliability is why AV-Comparatives continues to be referenced by enterprises, analysts, research institutions, and global media.

Clarity: Turning Complex Attacks Into Understandable Insights

Even the most accurate technical findings lose value if they are not communicated clearly. AV-Comparatives’ reports are structured to be informative not only for analysts but also for executives responsible for cybersecurity investment and risk management.

Each test includes step-by-step attack flows, product reactions, and final summaries crafted to support informed decision-making. This clarity helps organisations bridge the gap between technical detail and strategic action – a critical need in modern cybersecurity operations.

Designed for the Global Cybersecurity Community

With more than two decades of independent testing experience, AV-Comparatives remains committed to producing meaningful, openly documented evaluations. The 2025 reports reflect that mission: a commitment to providing the global cybersecurity community with accurate, comprehensible, and comparable results.

Enterprises require more than partial snapshots or isolated detections. They need full-context testing that mirrors the realities of today’s threat landscape. AV-Comparatives continues to deliver exactly that, year after year, across EDR, EPR, endpoint protection, and other enterprise-focused evaluations.

A Message from Andreas Clementi, CEO of AV-Comparatives:

“Security leaders face enormous pressure to choose the right technologies in an environment saturated with complexity. Transparency, comparability, and clarity are essential. Our 2025 enterprise reports demonstrate our commitment to providing openly documented, realistic tests that help organisations understand how solutions behave in practice, not just in theory.”

SAN MATEO, Calif., Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — AI infrastructure company EverMind has announced a major milestone in long-term memory research with its newly released EverMemOS achieving 92.3% accuracy on LoCoMo and 82% on LongMemEval-S—two of the field’s most authoritative benchmarks. The results significantly surpass prior methods and establish a new State-of-the-Art for durable, coherent machine memory. Developed with the mission of building the memory layer for future intelligence, EverMemOS now powers Tanka and is designed to equip more AI agents with stable identities that evolve through time, enabling them to develop durable, coherent, continuously growing “souls.”

A Paradigm Shift Inspired by Human Cognition

EverMemOS’s core design stems from an insight shared by entrepreneur and philanthropist Chen Tianqiao at the Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Institute’s Symposium for AI Accelerated Science (AIAS 2025) in San Francisco this October. Chen contrasted current AI’s “spatial structure” paradigm, which is instantaneous, static, and reliant on massive spatial parameters, with the human brain’s “temporal structure” paradigm: continuous, dynamic, and built to manage time-based information. Long-term memory, he argued, is the linchpin connecting time and true intelligence. EverMemOS was born from this idea: a system engineered to give AI temporal continuity—the ability to remember, adapt, and grow over time.

Three Innovations Redefining AI Memory

EverMemOS stands out through three industry-first innovations that solve longstanding memory limitations.

Its first innovation is a shift from treating memory as static storage to enabling it as an active, applied capability. Conventional methods retrieve information but do not integrate it into reasoning. EverMemOS, by contrast, uses unique fusion and decision mechanisms that allow memory to continuously influence a model’s thinking and outputs. Each interaction draws on contextual history, enabling consistent, stable, and personalized experiences across time.

The second innovation is its hierarchical memory extraction and dynamic organization engine. Rather than storing memories as unstructured text fragments, EverMemOS converts them into semantic MemCells and organizes them within evolving memory graphs. This strategy links related ideas, overcomes the limitations of similarity-based retrieval, and provides a structured foundation for complex downstream applications such as reasoning-driven agents, professional assistants, and emotionally aware companion models.

A third innovation lies in EverMemOS’s extensible modular memory framework, the first of its kind designed to meet diverse real-world needs. Memory requirements differ across scenarios: professional tasks demand precise, structured information; companionship models require empathetic, emotionally aware context; and agentic workflows rely on continuity and task-specific recall. EverMemOS adapts to each case, selecting the optimal memory organization and application strategy. This flexibility helps address the long-standing challenge posed by rigid, single-form memory systems and enables AI to operate effectively across varied environments.

Flexible Service Models for Every User

EverMind will offer EverMemOS in multiple service formats to fit different levels of technical capability. At present, an open-source version allows experienced developers to deploy and maintain the system independently. Later this year, a cloud-service version will be released to offer free trials and subscription-based access, with no operational overhead. A custom deployment version will support strategic partners seeking tailored integrations. A personal version, built for hardware-integrated and MCP-enabled contexts, will extend long-term memory capabilities to individual use cases.

EverMind is working to advance the foundation of artificial intelligence by addressing one of its most fundamental limitations: the lack of long-term memory. Through EverMemOS, the company introduces a scalable, customizable memory architecture that enables AI to operate with extended context, maintain behavioral consistency, and improve through continuous interaction. As AI systems move toward greater persistence, adaptability, and identity formation, EverMemOS is designed to serve as a reliable memory layer supporting the next generation of intelligent agents.
