AV-TEST Award 2024 for F-Secure

Every day, cybersecurity products deliver monitoring and protection services reliably in the background, unnoticed by many end users and company employees. The renowned AV-TEST Institute has been testing and recognizing these "hidden champions" for over 20 years. This year, the institute is once again presenting its coveted AV-TEST Awards 2024. In thousands of tests, the experts examined name-brand protection products for consumer users and corporate users on Windows, Mac and Android and certified them for their strong security performance. The AV-TEST Award 2024 honors the products that have consistently stood out with top scores and achieved peak ratings in the long-term test results throughout 2024. The coveted Best Protection Award 2024 for Consumer Users goes to F-Secure, underscoring the excellent results of its Total security product.

AV-TEST Award – recognition for verified IT security

Comprehensible, standards-based tests are a high priority for the experts at the AV-TEST Institute. All products evaluated in the test labs for Windows, Mac and Android always undergo a defined test structure and documentation. Only this professional approach ensures that test results are reproducible, valid and consistent at all times. That is why the institute explains all test procedures openly and transparently on its website. All the products tested and certified in 2024 always received clear ratings in the areas of Protection (protective function), Performance (speed) and Usability (user-friendliness). In addition to the standard tests for the operating systems mentioned, the testers also evaluated products under Windows in the special Advanced Threat Protection test. This ATP test offers insights into how Windows products are able to defend against ransomware and info stealers in real-life scenarios.

In all tests in 2024, the products examined and meeting the demanding test criteria received a certificate for tested security against digital threats. If products achieved results significantly above the industry standard at the end of a test evaluation, the AV-TEST team also awarded the distinction of "TOP PRODUCT". The products honored in an award category participated in all laboratory tests without exception throughout 2024. AV-TEST summarizes the results of these tests and uses them as the basis for determining the award winners. The AV-TEST Award leads to greater trust in the tested products among corporate users, consumer users and the media, as the awards stand for tested security on a long-term basis and according to the highest professional standards.

End users also need excellent protection for their Windows 10 or 11 operating system. System protection works best in the background, intercepting all threats and only informing the user that their Windows is safe.

With its consistent top scores in lab tests in the area of protection, F-Secure has demonstrated with its Total product how well it detects, fends off and liquidates malware and other threats. For this outstanding performance in all tests in 2024, the AV-TEST Institute confers the Best Protection Award for Consumer Users to F-Secure Total.

"This trophy for Best Protection goes to F-Secure. For its consistent protection performance, the AV-TEST team is giving the vendor the Best Protection Award for Consumer Users based on its Total package. F-Secure and its entire research and development team should be proud of their work, which we would like to honor with this award,” says Erik Heyland, Head of Testing Labs at AV-TEST.
