The answer was more Manageability. Corporations tend to want to manage their clients more than home users.
If you are in a mood for papers I would direct you to the AMTSO website (http://www.amtso.org/documents.html). Especially relevant to this thread...
What he said.
For consumer products testers generally will use defaults, as very few users ever change them. For corporate products it gets a little murkier,...
Giving them what they want is not always the best route. If you had asked people in the 1890's what they want for transportation they would have...
Andreas, I think you own poll undercuts your position that the limitations of the retrospective tests are well understood. It seemed pretty...
Yes, there is that case. There is also the case of viewing an email attachment after you have received it. To be clear, I am not saying these...
People may not be connected at all times, I will grant you that. But the vast majority of those people are connected at the time of infection, or...
Wrong. And becoming increasingly wronger. Signatures are by their nature reactive. Our other technologies are proactive (which is one of the...
And if the vendor's response is in the cloud?
I believe in such cases it is incumbant on the vendor to explicitly state what their objections to the test/methodology are (this is how I got...
Come on Andreas, you can do better than that. We score well on plenty of your tests that we do not consider to be good. Same for the other...
That is one way to look at it. But do you want vendors spending resources fixing problems that are not indicative of what real users are seeing...
In a sense, "real world" tests are the best form or retrospective test: Current products against current threats. Let me use all the weapons in...
At Symantec our layers work together. So testing the layers independently will give you a different result (and not as good a result) as testing...
First, we don't have null or poor detection rates. We actually did pretty well in this test last year when we participated. To you second point,...
Nevis, I don't know why you did not get an answer in our forum, but it would be the same. Andreas, even if we give you specialized definitions to...
In all likelihood your initial package would get taken out on download. Additionally, to do anything useful you are going to have to have...
There is a very simple reason why Symantec does not participate in this retrospective test: the cloud. Many of our generic heuristics -- the...
