In 2021, Kaspersky's security portfolio was a leader in the TOP3 metric [1]. Kaspersky participated in 75 independent tests and reviews, with the company's products taking first place 57 times and receiving TOP63 placements 3 times.
The TOP3 metric shows how successful a vendor is overall by measuring all of their performance across a series of independent tests within a calendar year. Consistent performance across multiple tests and products provides a more meaningful assessment of a company than the result of a single test. The TOP3 indicator includes results from laboratory tests such as AV-Comparatives, AV-TEST or SE Labs.
Many awards from well-known test laboratories
Among the numerous tests considered in the TOP3 of 2021, the following stand out:
- In the "Advanced Endpoint Protection: Ransomware Protection" [2] test by AV-TEST, Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud [3] achieved the best possible result and protected against all analyzed ransomware attacks.
- SE Labs gave Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response [4] the top grade of “AAA” in the Enterprise Advanced Security (EDR) test, because the product prevented every single one of the 16 targeted attacks from the four groups DragonFly & DragonFly2, Oilring, FIN7 & Carbanak and APT 29 without false alarms and with an overall accuracy of 98 percent.
- Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business [5] received an Advanced award from AV-TEST in the Advanced Threat ProtectionTest against ransomware, and was also honored with several other annual awards from the organization, including Best Protection, Best Performance, and Best Usability “.
- Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business was also recognized by IDC as a "Major Player" in the IDC MarketScape for its ability to provide enterprise customers with a natively integrated, cross-product solution.
Various awards also for consumer products
Kaspersky Internet Security [6] has been awarded the title "Best Protection and Best Performance" by AV-TEST several times. AV-Comparatives also ranked Kaspersky Internet Security "Top Rated" in 2021 and gave four awards for the areas ATP "Advanced Threat Protection" 2021 Silver, "Best Overall Speed' 2021 Silver, "Lowest False Positives" 2021 Silver and " Real-World Protection” 2021 Silver.
In addition, Kaspersky Internet Security received the “Advanced” award from AV-TEST [7] in the Advanced Threat Protection test against ransomware. Kaspersky Safe Kids received the AV-TEST “Approved” award for the technological provision of all functions that ensure comprehensive protection on all platforms (Windows, Android and iOS). In addition, AV-TEST Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection was recognized as one of the best solutions for gaming and streaming. The solid speed ratings and the high transparency for the user were particularly emphasized. SE Labs also highlighted Kaspersky Internet Security, giving it an AAA rating, with the product achieving the highest overall accuracy of 100 percent in the second and fourth quarters.
741 independent tests in 9 years
Between 2013 and 2021, Kaspersky products participated in a total of 741 independent tests and ratings as part of the TOP3 metric. During this period, Kaspersky solutions were awarded first place 518 times, and received top three rankings 612 times.
"Continuous participation in independent testing is an essential part of effectively developing technologies that can then be efficiently integrated into cybersecurity solutions," comments Alexander Liskin, Head of Threat Research at Kaspersky. “Regular analysis of such results allows us to identify real opportunities for improvement in our technology and validates the level of protection we offer our customers against real cyber threats. We are pleased that we received such good results in 2021, which once again demonstrate the high quality of our security technologies and solutions.”
