Impressive Security, Throughout

Symantec Endpoint Protection wins ´Best Protection´ award from AV TESTS ; outperforms competition by stopping virtually 100 percent of threats

Symantec Endpoint Protection was recently recognized for its consistently high security performance in 2015 and went on to win the AV-TEST’s “Best Protection 2015 Award” for corporate users.

“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.

In each of AV-TEST’s six certification tests, Symantec Enterprise Protection came through with a consistently high protection function of virtually 100 percent. 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.

“Symantec’s intelligent next generation endpoint protection uses advanced machine learning to immediately block abnormal behaviors in real time and stop targeted attacks,” said Amit Jasuja, senior vice president, product development, Symantec. “Plus, it’s backed by one of the world’s largest civilian threat intelligence networks, so it blocks rapidly mutating malware and zero-day threats without impacting performance.”
