Kaspersky Lab’s small business solution, Kaspersky Small Office Security, has come top of the leaderboard in testing, conducting by independent IT security institute AV-TEST.
For the third time it was the only solution tested that achieved the maximum possible score - six out of six - in all three test categories: protection, performance and usability.
The independent IT security institute, AV-TEST, compared 13 endpoint protection products for businesses using Windows 8.1 Professional 64-Bit. During the testing, which was conducted in May and June 2016, experts implemented realistic scenarios to challenge the products against real-world threats. Each product had to demonstrate their capabilities using all components and protection layers.
AV-TEST experts evaluated the average influence of the product on computer performance when launching popular websites, downloading, installing and launching frequently-used business applications, copying different files. Kaspersky Small Office Security was tested on its ability to block widespread malicious malware (16,735 samples used) and zero-day, web and e-mail threats (163 samples used). It was proven as a solution with a minimal performance affect, while providing 100% of protection rate. AV-Test saw no false positives and almost all of the indicators were well above the industry average.
As a result, Kaspersky Lab’s solution for small business scored the maximum possible 18 points, topping the list and receiving the ‘Top Product’ award:
“We are seeing a significant increase in targeted ransomware, and web-based and online-banking attacks extracting money from their victims. Small companies don’t often have the time or security expertise to setup the protection they require. This makes them extremely vulnerable to cyberattacks. We challenged ourselves with developing a simple and easy-to-use solution, which would also provide a complete, multilayered protection to small businesses. Kaspersky Small Office Security fits this purpose precisely. It requires almost no security expertise for initial setup and maintenance, it is almost invisible for end-users, decides which prevention measures are necessary, and can be managed remotely. We are proud that AV-TEST has commended our solution with perfect marks and awarded Kaspersky Small Office Security with the best mark for performance and usability,” comments Konstantin Voronkov, Head of Endpoint Product Management, Kaspersky Lab.
Kaspersky Small Office Security is a dedicated solution designed to protect the IT infrastructure of small businesses. The solution’s components can protect Windows devices (both servers and workstations), as well as OS X and Android devices. The cloud-based console helps manage the entire IT infrastructure from any location. The solution is designed to enable even non-IT professionals to effectively control the company’s IT security system.
