F-Secure has been awarded the Best Protection from the AV-TEST Institute, winning it four years in a row.
The IT security vendor said the technology in its F-Secure Client Security that won Best Protection 2014 after a year of impressive performance is also implemented in Server Security to provide top-notch protection in all F-Secure solutions.
“Since 2011, F-Secure’s security product has been a guarantee of high protection in corporate environments,” says Andreas Marx, CEO of AV-TEST. The institute, a leading international and independent service provider in IT security and anti-virus research, gives the award to the best product of the year for Windows protection. Products are tested on how well they protect against current threats as well as malware infections caused by zero-day attacks from malicious websites and emails.
“The AV-TEST award is not simply a one-time evaluation,” says Pekka Usva, Vice President, Corporate Security at F-Secure. “It’s based on monthly tests throughout the year, so the winner must consistently produce excellent results. After four years in a row, there is no doubting the consistent top quality of our products, day in and day out.”
