AV-TEST Award 2024 for Norton
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 2024 award in the category of Best MacOS Security for Consumer Users goes to Norton 360 from Gen Digital for its excellent protection of MacOS systems.

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.
AV-TEST Award for Norton – award-winning IT security
Many years ago, the number of malware programs targeting MacOS systems was relatively small. However carefree times for MacOS users are well and truly over. The AV-TEST malware databases are now tallying new attackers and their variants for MacOS on a daily basis. These are just as dangerous as their Windows counterparts.
In the test labs of AV-TEST, the protection software Norton 360 has repeatedly demonstrated in all tests under MacOS how well and reliably it protects a system against attacks and intrusions. At the height of all this strong protection work, Norton 360 also proved that it hardly burdens or slows down the MacOS system. For this outstanding performance, the AV-TEST Institute is giving the 2024 Best MacOS Security Award for Consumer Users to Norton from Gen Digital.
“It is always a pleasure for us to recognize particularly safe products with an award. The Norton 360 product proved to us in the tests why it ultimately earned the Best MacOS Security Award for Consumer Users. We congratulate the Norton team for their excellent research and work in developing the award-winning protection tool,” says Erik Heyland, Head of Testing Labs at AV-TEST.
