AV-TEST Award 2024 for Seqrite

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 AV-TEST Best Performance 2024 Award for Corporate Users is being presented to Seqrite Endpoint Protection for its consistently high performance under Windows.

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 Seqrite – award-winning IT security

It is no secret that protection for endpoints in companies is absolutely essential. However, performance with regard to the speed of a PC also plays an important role alongside security, especially in the workplace. In its tests under Windows, the AV-TEST laboratory therefore precisely examines the impact that a protection solution has on the system resources. In the worst case, the defense solution slows down system performance when it accesses the hard drive or network.

In all tests conducted in the laboratory in 2024, the corporate solution Endpoint Protection from Seqrite stood out due to its particularly low system load on the Windows test systems. Its load value remained significantly under the industry average. In honor of this special performance, the AV-TEST team is presenting the product Endpoint Protection from Seqrite with the AV-TEST Best Performance 2024 Award for Corporate Users.

“When a protection solution slows down an employee’s computer so much that the employee tries to deactivate the solution, this may result in an absolute nightmare for the company. It is therefore essential that security vendors also always consider this performance aspect. The vendor Seqrite places a strong focus on the area of performance and has ensured that its product has an extremely low load on Windows systems. For this excellent work, we are pleased to present Seqrite with the Best Performance 2024 Award for Corporate Users. Congratulations!”, exclaims Erik Heyland, Head of Testing Labs at AV-TEST.
