Abingdon, 29th January 2013 - Kaspersky Lab’s flagship corporate solution has picked up two prestigious European awards in AV-Test’s end-of-year summary for 2012. Kaspersky Endpoint Security 8 won both Best Protection 2012 and Best Repair 2012 from the independent experts in their round up of top security solutions for 2012 and was the only vendor to receive two awards for its security technologies.

Throughout 2012 Kaspersky Endpoint Security 8 produced outstanding performances in complex assessments carried out by AV-Test. On five occasions it was the outright winner. The Kaspersky Lab protection technologies included in the corporate security solution successfully detected and removed new and unknown threats, delivering consistently impressive results in the two most important groups of tests – Protection and Repair. It comes as little surprise that when AV-Test summed up its 2012 results, it honoured Kaspersky Endpoint Security 8 with two major awards - Best Protection 2012 and Best Repair 2012.

Andreas Marx, CEO, AV-TEST commented: “We want to congratulate the entire Kaspersky Lab team for receiving both the AV-TEST Best Protection Award 2012 and the AV-TEST Best Repair Award 2012 for Kaspersky Endpoint Security. All Kaspersky Lab corporate products have demonstrated outstanding protection and excellent repair capabilities during the year 2012.”

Oleg Ishanov, Head of Anti-Malware Research, Kaspersky Lab added: “The annual awards from prestigious test labs are the most important and useful indicator of the quality of any antivirus solution. On this basis, users can see which security solutions offer the highest levels of efficiency. We are happy to learn that this year our corporate product Kaspersky Endpoint Security 8 received the accolades of AV-Test.org’s independent experts for its reliable antivirus protection – Best protection 2012 – and for system recovery following an infection – Best Repair 2012.”
