Trend Micro OfficeScan Earns Highest Overall Score
Trend Micro Incorporated has announced that Trend Micro OfficeScan has received the highest overall score in AV-TEST’s endurance evaluation of corporate endpoint solutions. This six-month assessment reviewed a field of eight security solutions for small- and medium-sized companies. OfficeScan scored No. 1 overall across the three most important categories to IT Security organizations including protection, performance and usability, earning 17.2 points out of a maximum score of 18. During the test, Trend Micro earned the highest score in the performance category.
“Providing better protection across a broad range of integrated security capabilities and flexible management is important not only to keep important business data safe, but to create a superior administrator and user experience,” said Dhanya Thakkar, Managing Director, India & SEA, Trend Micro. “Earning the highest overall score in this competitive endurance evaluation validates Trend Micro’s overall innovation and OfficeScan’s long-term performance, usability and superior protection.”
The AV-TEST endurance assessment evaluated the level of protection, performance and usability of security solutions when operating on Windows XP, 7 and 8 platforms throughout a six-month period. Companies examined included Trend Micro, Bitdefender, Kaspersky Labs, F-Secure, Symantec, McAfee, Sophos and Microsoft.
Trend Micro’s top score in the performance category demonstrates OfficeScan’s ability to support demands for security, while not impeding the endpoint performance of other tasks. To determine scores for the protection category, AV-TEST evaluated the detection rates of the security solutions in both real-world and AV-TEST reference set tests. Real-world testing examined zero-day attacks as young as a few hours old, while the reference set measured the detection of widespread and prevalent malware up to four weeks old. In the AV-TEST reference set evaluation, OfficeScan earned a 100 percent detection rate when charged with identifying and destroying approximately60,000 pieces of malware.
