The TOP3 metric shows how successful a vendor is by measuring its performance across a number of independent tests within a calendar year. Consistent performance across multiple tests and products gives a more meaningful assessment of the company than the results of a single test. The TOP3 metric includes results from lab tests, such as AV-Comparatives, AV-TEST, SE Labs and others.

Among the numerous tests considered in 2021’s TOP3, some are particularly noteworthy. The ‘Advanced Endpoint Protection: Ransomware Protection’ test performed by AV-TEST, saw Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud achieve the highest possible result, protecting against all ransomware attacks used in the research. SE Labs awarded Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response with the highest-grade, ‘AAA,’ in the Enterprise Advanced Security (EDR) Test because the product detected every one of the 16 targeted attacks from 4 groups[1] with no false positives and a total accuracy rating of 98%. Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business received the ‘Advanced’ award from AV-TEST in the Advanced Threat Protection Test against ransomware and was also granted several other annual awards from the organization, including ‘Best Protection’, ‘Best Performance’ and ‘Best Usability.’ Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business has also been ranked by IDC as a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape and was noted for its ability to offer enterprise customers a natively integrated cross-product solution.

On top of this, Kaspersky Internet Security received the ‘Advanced’ award from AV-TEST in the Advanced Threat Protection Test against ransomware. Kaspersky Safe Kids received AV-TEST’s ‘Approved’ recognition for a comprehensive split of features that ensure sweeping protection across all platforms (Windows, Android and iOS). In addition, AV-TEST named Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection as one of the best solutions for gaming and streaming, highlighting its solid speed ratings and its strong transparency offerings for the user. SE Labs has also highlighted Kaspersky Internet Security and ranked it with the highest grade, ‘AAA,’ with the product achieving the highest total accuracy rating at 100% in Q2 and Q4.

“Continual participation in independent tests is an integral part of the effective development of technologies, which can then be efficiently incorporated into cybersecurity solutions. Regular analysis of such results allows us to discover real areas for improvement in our technology and confirms the levels of protection provided to our customers from real cyberthreats.
