F-Secure has had a consistency that no other company in the cyber security industry has been able to match over the past 10 years. The industry-leading technology behind F-Secure SAFE and Protection Service for Business won AV-TEST’s prestigious Best Protection award in 2012,13,14,16,18 and 2020. Such consistency has only been possible by staying ahead of a relentless criminal industry that is constantly trying, retrying, and refining any attack that works. This has been achieved as follows:
Unique focus
“These best-in-class awards prove that F-Secure’s unique focus on staying a few steps ahead of the threat landscape is paying off for our customers”, says F-Secure’s Tactical Defense Unit Anthony Melgarejo, who leads the company’s preventive protection capabilities. The Tactical Defense Unit focuses on creating developing defensive mechanisms and preventative measures that address current and near-future security problems. The F-Secure systems’ average 7 billion online queries, 6 billion behavioural events, and millions of suspicious URLs and malware samples daily. The constant flood of information makes sure F-Secure Protection Service for Business and F-Secure SAFE are ready to take on the latest threats, today, and tomorrow.
The other very good news from this year’s AV-TEST awards shows that the Best Protection from the world’s worst threats doesn’t have to come at the cost of draining a system’s resources.
Best Performance along with Best Protection
In addition to the Best Protection for both home and business users, F-Secure also picked up Best Performance for home users. This means that customers get the best protection against the world’s worst threats from a solution recognised for delivering less impact on a system than the MS Windows’ native security. Gone are the days when internet security suites demanded massive amounts of processing power that had a noticeable effect on PC performance. F-Secure’s protection technology applies massive amounts of threat intelligence utilising the cloud and pioneering artificial intelligence and the result is a faster, safer experience.
This makes F-Secure perfect for users who demand the most from their systems, including gamers. With F-Secure SAFE’s Gaming Mode, for example, gamers can get the world’s best protection while postponing any CPU-heavy operations that might slow a session down.
