CyberIndexBeta

Product

An endpoint security product for businesses, government agencies and MSPs that uses default-deny application allowlisting to block unknown software before it runs, with remote management. PC Matic's Application Allowlisting is a digital security technology which only allows trusted files and scripts of a known, good application to run on a system or device. Having the right Application Allowlisting tools, like PC Matic, in place is the key to ransomware prevention especially when running brand new, unknown or non-trusted applications. IT Networks and Servers are the most frequent targets of cyber-criminals looking to exploit vulnerabilities in a system's security to disrupt operations, steal data, or to ransom critical company data. Supported platforms are macOS and Windows.

Vendor

PC Matic sells antivirus from Sioux City, Iowa, and two things set it apart from almost everything else in this index. The first is its method: rather than looking for what is bad, its SuperShield component denies by default and permits only applications on a global list of known-good software. That is allowlisting, the approach usually reserved for locked-down corporate machines, sold to households. The second is where it is made. The company builds and supports entirely in the United States and says so loudly; for its government and public-sector customers that is the buying reason. Its products are PC Matic Complete Protection for households, with PC Matic VPN, PC Matic Privacy and identity protection sold around it, and PC Matic Pro, PC Matic for SMB and PC Matic Server Security for organisations. The method has a consequence in the test results here. Default-deny scores very well on blocking unknown malware and is more prone than a conventional scanner to blocking legitimate software that is not yet on the list, so its protection and false-positive figures should be read together rather than separately.
