Thanks to its industry-leading technology, F-Secure is the only company with products that have won an AV-TEST Best Protection award in 7 out of the last 10 years, giving it the most consistent track record in the industry.
“Not only did F-Secure Protection Service for Business and SAFE products provide the highest level of protection throughout 2020, but SAFE also led the field in resource-conservation,” says Maik Morgenstern, CTO of AV-TEST.
“F-Secure always strives to gain and maintain the trust of our customers by providing them the best protection against the world’s worst threats,” says F-Secure Tactical Defense Unit’s Anthony Melgarejo, service owner for the company’s preventive protection capabilities. “We’re glad to see that our continuous improvements to stay on top of the ever-changing threat landscape are making an impact. Providing best-in-class class protection without compromising speed is not an easy feat, which makes this accomplishment particularly satisfying.”
he Tactical Defense Unit has been focusing on developing defensive mechanisms and preventative measures that address current and near-future security problems. F-Secure’s systems analyze an average of 7 billion online queries, 6 billion behavioral events, and millions of suspicious URLs and malware samples daily. Utilizing the cloud and industry-leading artificial intelligence, F-Secure’s protection technology is strong enough to take on advanced threats yet agile enough to minimize any impact on the system.
A leading international and independent service provider in IT security and anti-virus research, AV-TEST institute’s prestigious Best Protection award is based on a total of monthly tests of Windows protection throughout the year.

F-Secure was awarded ‘Top Product’ consistently in all the six tests conducted by the institute in 2020.
“These best-in-class awards prove that our unique focus on staying a few steps ahead of the threat landscape is paying off for our customers, who don’t have to choose between the best protection and the best performance,” says Melgarejo.
