Kaspersky Lab Products Win Independent Testing Honors Again

Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of secure content and threat management solutions, announced that their products have, once again, come out on top in independent testing of the leading security products. More details after the jump.

In quarterly testing conducted by security analyst Dennis Technology Labs from October through December of 2013, Kaspersky Internet Security 2014, Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business and Kaspersky Small Office Security produced the best overall in each of their respective categories.

Dennis Technology Labs is an independent testing facility that evaluates personal and business technology, including hardware and software. They specialize in security testing, using a world-class anti-malware testing framework.

Kaspersky Lab products earned the highest score and most coveted AAA rating from Dennis Technology Labs. The AAA rating is given to the most accurate products in treating threats and handling legitimate software during the test.

Leading the way in the testing was Kaspersky Internet Security (KIS) 2014, which scored 1,030 points out of a total possible 1,048 – the highest among the nine home products that were put through the testing.

KIS protected the test system from 99 of 100 malicious samples, scoring the maximum 740 points in the Legitimate Software Ratings scenario that measures the rate of false positives for legitimate applications.

Meanwhile, Kaspersky Small Office Security and Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business performed similarly well.

Both detected 99 of the 100 tested threats and generated no false positives, and the products scored 1,029 out of a possible 1,048, the highest score among tested products.

“This kind of test, carried out over an extended period of time and engaging the most up-to-date malware samples, gives us the most objective insights into the protection capabilities of each product,” said Oleg Ishanov, Anti-Malware Research Director at Kaspersky Lab.

Kaspersky Lab has earned top honors in independent testing many times before.

In December, 2013 Kaspersky Internet Security scored the highest among competitors in malware detections during testing by independent security analyst AV-Comparatives.

A month prior, AV-TEST laboratory named Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business the best corporate security solution on the market.
