Kaspersky Endpoint Security Solution for Windows bags Top Score

Kaspersky Lab has announced that the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows corporate security solution has been awarded with the highest prize in the independent Enterprise Anti-Virus Protection April – June 2013 test conducted by Dennis Technology Labs. The test sought to find out how effectively products detect and block cyber threats and to compare the abilities of different security solutions currently on the market. Kaspersky Lab joined four other major corporate security vendors in the test.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows took first place, scoring 388 out of a possible 400 points and claiming a 97% effectiveness rating, according to the calculations of Dennis Technology Labs.

Oleg Ishanov, Director, Anti-Malware Research, Kaspersky Lab, said, In our opinion, Dennis Lab’s decision to use a limited but very up-to-date selection of malicious links is a great way to show the true effectiveness of a solution. Other antivirus test labs often given high marks to solutions which might block a million malicious objects without considering that many of these problems are unlikely to be seen in the real world. At the same time, that product might let a dangerous new threat slip through and wreak havoc with corporate IT infrastructure. That is why Dennis Technology Labs’ methodology stands out from other frequently used approaches to antivirus testing.

In May, 2013 the Kaspersky Endpoint Security solution achieved 100% scores in VB100 testing and in January it gained first place in a test conducted by AV Test.
