“We had a perfect score across the entire testing year, meaning not a single malware sample was missed across the two protection testing categories, totalling ~92k test samples.”
Winners of the Best Protection Award must demonstrate the highest detection rates across two types of malware testing
👉 Real-world testing
It evaluates protection capabilities against previously unknown malware. This is a multi-stage test that includes fetching the malicious sample via commonly used malware delivery methods, such as email attachments and web downloads.
👉 Prevalent malware testing
This uses larger collections of widespread and prevalent malware samples. The main purpose of this test is to evaluate whether tested products receive timely updates to cover widespread malware samples
“This award underlines that we’re capable of effectively protecting against previously unknown malware, in ways that our customers could normally encounter them,” Saxén concludes.
