Bitdefender receives the highest cumulative score for protection, performance and usability over the last two years

Bitdefender, the innovative cybersecurity solutions provider, is proud to announce its Endpoint Security solution won the Best Performance 2016 Award for corporate users from the prestigious independent analysis firm AV-TEST.

The award recognizes the “superb performance” and “remarkable results” of Bitdefender Endpoint Security in six exhaustive rounds of testing throughout 2016. The corporate user solution has now won AV-TEST’s Best Performance Award for three straight years.

"The fact that you don't need to trade good protection for speed in the protected systems was impressively demonstrated by Bitdefender's Endpoint Security solution in our annual year-long tests," Guido Habicht, the CEO of AV-TEST, said in announcing the awards.

Tallying the results of all testing through 2015 and 2016, combined, Bitdefender’s excellent mix of protection, performance and usability also shone through, achieving the highest cumulative results.

The tests verified Bitdefender Endpoint Security’s effectiveness in fighting malware, including newly discovered and zero-day threats, while outperforming the industry by minimizing influence on the speed of the protected systems. Repeated testing showed Bitdefender’s solution allows users to copy files, download and install applications, and launch websites and standard software applications faster than other solutions for corporate users.

“Six tests within the year 2016 with excellent test results in terms of protection were completed by superb performance scores achieved by the Bitdefender protection solution,” AV-TEST says in its summary of testing. “In managing daily routines, the test systems are not slowed down by Endpoint Security, and the product was able to achieve remarkable results also in the test categories of performance and usability.”

Bitdefender has earned the trust of 500 million users worldwide with its technology – from families to SMBs and world’s largest corporations. Bitdefender has consistently ranked among industry experts as the most secure and best performing security software on the market. With more than six patents pertaining to machine-learning algorithms for detecting malware and other online threats, deep learning and anomaly-based detection techniques play a vital role in proactively fighting new and unknown threats.

“The testing confirms our deeply held belief that excellence and diligent work are rewarded both by expert opinion and the most important audience of all – the companies we protect,” said Harish Agastya, Bitdefender VP, Enterprise Solutions. “For three straight years now, Bitdefender has won this award and, at the same time constantly reached the highest overall score for protection, performance and usability. Both of these achievements attest to the quality of our solutions.”
