Woburn, MA – February 7, 2023 – Today Kaspersky announced that Kaspersky Internet Security received three annual awards in 2022 for results in a series of tests by AV-Comparatives. The product earned a Top-Rated Product 2022 award for high results across a series of consumer products tests, earning an “Advanced+” rating 5 times out of 7 tests. Kaspersky Internet Security also took Bronze Awards for the Lowest False Positives 2022 and Advanced Threat Protection 2022.

At the end of each testing year, AV-Comparatives Summary Report provides an overview of every product participating in the main test series by its testing panel, showcasing high-scoring products evaluated by its test team.

Kaspersky Internet Security was named Top-Rated Product Award 2022 by testers at AV-Comparatives for its high standard in the Public Consumer Main-Test Series. To receive this award, a company must achieve a total of more than 90 points across all tests. During evaluation, Kaspersky Internet Security gained 95 points and received the highest “Advanced+” award for five out of seven tests.

Kaspersky Internet Security also earned praise for its high results in False Alarm tests throughout 2022. According to test data, Kaspersky received a bronze award and is one of just three vendors to earn annual recognition for the lowest number of false positives. It’s an important test, since false positive alarms can cause as many issues as a real infection.

In addition, Kaspersky Internet Security was honored with the ATP Bronze 2022 annual award for its performance in the Advanced Threat Protection Test, testing any program’s ability to protect against advanced targeted and fileless attacks to the limit. Kaspersky Internet Security managed to block 12 attacks and finished top-3 among all participants.

In late 2022, Kaspersky updated its line of consumer protection products. Users looking for the same award-winning protection offered by Kaspersky Internet Security will now switch to the following options:

·       Kaspersky Standard: provides the most essential malware protection, along with new performance optimization tools. Works across Windows, Mac, Android and iOS, features a new user interface and switches to a monthly subscription model.

·       Kaspersky Plus: adds privacy features including unlimited VPN, premium password manager, a new dark web data leak checker, new home network check and new social privacy feature.

·       Kaspersky Premium: adds premium support, including remote IT services, expert installation services, priority support line, and PC Health Check Services. Also adds a new Identity Protection Wallet, which stores encrypted copies of sensitive documents, and a free subscription to Kaspersky Safe Kids parental control app. 

“It is the twelfth time in a row from 2011-2022 that Kaspersky consumer solutions have received AV-Comparatives annual awards,” said Marina Titova, vice president, consumer product marketing at Kaspersky.  “We’re proud this independent organization has once again highlighted the high quality of our products and technologies. Recognition from the expert community and this award shows Kaspersky products stand among the best in the market.”
