WithSecure Elements XDR achieved the highest distinction

WithSecure Elements XDR has achieved top recognition in AV-Comparatives’ 2026 tests. The solution received the highest distinction in the Endpoint Prevention and Response (EPR) category, following a series of demanding tests designed to evaluate how effectively it can detect and respond to modern cyber threats.

The “Certified Leader” title represents the highest level of recognition in AV-Comparatives’ CyberRisk Quadrant. It is awarded only to vendors that meet demanding requirements for both active and passive response. For its 2026 evaluation, AV-Comparatives raised the performance standards and introduced more sophisticated, AI-assisted attack scenarios to reflect the changing tactics used by modern cyber attackers.

Strong protection against cyber threats and effective response, with minimal impact on the day-to-day operation of systems.

The “Certified Leader” recognition reflects strong performance in preventing and responding to cyber threats. In the 2026 evaluation, AV-Comparatives used tougher criteria and more advanced attack scenarios, including AI-assisted techniques.

WithSecure achieved the required level without adding significant operational burden from false alerts or workflow delays. Out of 14 vendors tested, 11 met the required standard.

“Every attack scenario in our test was ultimately contained before it could reach the asset breach phase, and the product did so without generating any additional operational accuracy costs. It is a clean, reliable result that reflects well on WithSecure’s enterprise XDR approach.”
