By combining the total number of tests that a company participated in with the number of top three positions it took, the TOP3 metric delivers a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness and reliability of cybersecurity solutions for both enterprise and consumer markets. The metric draws from evaluations performed by recognized independent testing laboratories, including AV‑Comparatives, AV‑TEST, SE Labs, and other trusted test institutes.
