ThreatFire Testing and Reviewers Guide

Behavior-based security software takes a different approach to malware detection and containment than traditional signature-based security software. As a result, behavior-based security software testing procedures need to be appropriately set up to measure the actual detection efficiency offered by such software.

The ThreatFire Testing Procedure and Reviewers Guide is designed to help those in the media wishing to test ThreatFire better understand how behavior analysis security software such as ThreatFire operates, how to best test such software and what typical testing pitfalls might be encountered.

The Guide is provided in PDF format.
