Symantec Endpoint Protection wins award
Symantec Corp. has an- nounced that Symantec Endpoint Protection ( SEP) won AV-TEST’s “Best Protection 2015 Award” for corporate users. Symantec Endpoint Protection was recognized for its consistently high security performance in all 2015 certification tests.
“The corporate solution Symantec Endpoint Protection earned the Best Protection 2015 Award, consistently demonstrating impressive security protection in all tests,” said Maik Morgenstern, CTO, AV-TEST.
AV-TEST, globally recognized for its rigorous independent testing practices, evaluates the efficacy of security solutions’ protection against advanced attacks throughout the year. Security solutions are subjected to over 1,000 live zero-day attacks delivered via infected websites and e-mail to measure a product’s complete protection ability. In addition, AV-TEST measures the security solution’s detection of more than 150,000 current and widespread threats. Symantec Endpoint Protection consistently bested competing solutions throughout the entire 2015 testing cycle.
In each of AV-TEST’s six certification tests, Symantec Endpoint Protection came through with a consistently high protection function of virtually 100 percent. For its performance, the product received the AV-TEST “Best Protection 2015 Award.” Additionally, Norton Security was recognized as the best consumer protection by AV-TEST. This is the first time a vendor has won both the business and consumer protection categories. Representatives from Symantec accepted the awards at AV-TEST Institute’s annual awards ceremony yesterday in Wolfsburg, Germany.
Today’s cyber-attacks are increasingly deceptive, tapping into endpoint systems to infiltrate an organization’s infrastructure.
