    Enterprise Strategy Group | Getting to the bigger truth.™ Technical Review Comodo MDR: Security Operations Center-as-a-service Date: November 2018 Author: Tony Palmer, Senior Validation Analyst; and Jack Poller, Senior Analyst Abstract This ESG Technical Review documents hands-on testing of the Comodo MDR security operations center (SOC)-as-a-service platform. We focus on how Comodo MDR provides defense-in-depth for organizations’ network, endpoints, web, and cloud infrastructure as a bundled, cost-efficient service. The Challenges As ESG’s annual IT spending intentions survey reveals, the global cybersecurity skills shortage continues unabated. In 2018, 51% of respondents state their organization has a problematic shortage (see Figure 1), up from 45% in 2017.1 IT and security staff face an ever-growing amount of internally and externally generated data, hindering their ability to uncover and resolve threats quickly, and preventing them from keeping skills sets up to date. The skills gap threatens the ability of organizations to maintain effective security controls and minimize risk. Figure 1. Top Ten Areas of IT Skills Shortage In which of the following areas do you believe your IT organization currently has a problematic shortage of existing skills? (Percent of respondents, N=620, multiple responses accepted) Cybersecurity 51% IT architecture/planning 33% Server/virtualization administration 26% Data protection (i.e., backup and recovery) 26% Application development 25% Compliance management, monitoring and reporting 25% Business intelligence/data analytics 25% Mobile application development 24% Network administration 23% Storage administration 22% Source: Enterprise Strategy Group Organizations need effective cybersecurity management—aggregating data, prioritizing action, and distributing work—to handle the ever-increasing velocity and volume of cyber-attacks.

CIS Installation Please read the installation instructions carefully and review the system requirements before installing Comodo Internet Security. The CIS software itself is identical for all customers regardless of the package type. All versions (including free) include all security features, technologies and updates. The difference between the package types lies in the availability of additional services such as TrustConnect, Cloud Backup and the Comodo Guarantee. Activation of additional services is carried out after the base installation has been completed. Note - Before beginning installation, please ensure you have uninstalled any other antivirus and firewall products, including Comodo AV/FW/CES. Failure to remove other AV and FW products could lead to conflicts which cause CIS to function incorrectly. We advise users consult their vendor documentation for help to remove specific programs. However, the following steps should help most Windows users: • Click the 'Start' button to open the 'Windows Start' menu • Select Control Panel > Programs and Features (Win 10, Win 8/8.1, Win 7, Vista); Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (XP) • Select your current antivirus or firewall program(s) from the list • Click 'Remove'/'Uninstall' button • Repeat process until all required programs have been removed Click the links below for detailed explanations: • CIS Premium - Installation • CIS Pro - Installation • CIS Complete - Installation 1.1.CIS Premium - Installation • Before beginning installation, please ensure you have removed any other antivirus and firewall products that are on your computer.

  • The Antivirus Industry and Its Virustotal Deception
    The Antivirus Industry and its VirusTotal Deception VirusTotal (www.virustotal.com) is a crowd-sourced virus scanning project sponsored by Google. VirusTotal solicits suspect files and URLs from users, subscribers and other site visitors and scans them with solutions from over 70 anti-virus (AV) tools suppliers. Basic results are shared with submitters and among participating commercial partners who, in theory, use results to improve their anti-virus software, collectively contributing to the improvement of global IT security. Key to VirusTotal’s ability to attract commercial participants is the project’s Terms of Service, wherein participants agree not to: …”use the Service in any way which could infringe the rights or interests of VirusTotal, the Community or any third party, including for example, to prove or disprove a concept or discredit, or bait any actor in the anti-malware space.” These innocuous terms, however, help AV vendors hide a multitude of inadequacies and downright deceptive practices. Participating AV suppliers often: 1. lack actual competence in virus detection, depending instead upon the detection capability of others, and without acknowledging that dependence; 2. overstate and distort the effectiveness of detection, hide misidentification and false positives, trumpet their embrace of AI as a bluff, and engage in tests with repacked viruses and fake malware; and, 3. abuse VirusTotal and other community resources for reporting the supposed efficacy of detection, leveraging a well-intentioned service to support deceptive practices. Parasitic Virus Detection Many AV companies have ridden piggyback on VirusTotal and other shared AV services as a means to improve their virus signature libraries.
