Kaspersky Lab Products Lead the Way in all Q4 Dennis Technology Labs Tests
Woburn, MA – January 23, 2015–Kaspersky Lab announces today that according to the results of Internet security product testing carried out by Dennis Technology Labs in Q4 2014, Kaspersky Lab products proved to be the most effective solutions for home users, small businesses and enterprises respectively.
Kaspersky Internet Security, Kaspersky Small Office Security and Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business achieved the highest possible scores in the three respective tests and each received the top AAA certificate. Furthermore, in all four quarters of 2014, Kaspersky Lab security solutions earned the highest AAA certificates from Dennis Technology Labs.
To identify the most effective solution, Dennis Technology Labs experts calculate a Total Accuracy Rating based on the results of two independent studies. The first study evaluates how effectively each product combats the latest Internet threats, i.e. those detected within the last 24 hours. The second assesses how a product responds to objects that are known to be safe. Points were given for successfully detecting and blocking malware and for allowing legitimate software to run. Points were subtracted in the event of errors. In all three tests, the Kaspersky Lab products achieved the maximum possible score of 1,140 points.
“Every day, Internet users face hundreds of thousands of cyberthreats, so in practice even a small testing advantage for a security solution translates into hundreds of prevented incidents. Kaspersky Lab’s accumulated experience and the Company’s professional competence enable us to stay on the cutting edge of security technology, and testing results confirm this,” commented Timur Biyachuev, Director of Anti-Malware research, Kaspersky Lab.
