AV-Test certifies Kaspersky Mobile Security with high scores
Following independent testing in May 2013, Kaspersky Lab has announced that its Android smartphone security solution Kaspersky Mobile Security" has won the AV-Test Certified award. The solution blocked 99.29% of the 2,545 malicious applications used in the test. Additionally, the solution was recognized as economical in terms of both CPU resource consumption and the use of Internet connections.
Andreas Marx, CEO, AV-Test, said, Some products only detected 58% of the Android malware tested, and failed. Kaspersky, however, easily passed the AV-TEST Certification with an excellent 99% protection rate.
Oleg Ishanov, Director of Anti-Malware Research Unit, Kaspersky Lab, said, We put tremendous efforts into ensuring high security standards for the users of Kaspersky Lab’s mobile products. However, we should also keep in mind that an antivirus solution is just one application among many used by smartphone users. It needs to offer the maximum levels of security while keeping a low profile in terms of CPU and network traffic use. The results of this AV-Test.org research amply demonstrate the effectiveness of Kaspersky Lab’s solution.
All in all, Kaspersky Mobile Security was awarded a perfect 6 points for Usability.
