eScan's Corporate 360 receives AV Comparatives' 'Real World' Protection Test Certification


Johannesburg, 25 Jul 2017

eScan, the Enterprise Security Solution provider, has received the most sought after AV-Comparatives' "Real World" Protection Test certification for eScan Corporate 360. The test was conducted between February and June 2017 and eScan Corporate 360 successfully cleared the stringent test by providing advanced level protection against malwares and malicious sites for PCs and laptops.

The "Real World" Protection test by AV Comparatives evaluated the real-time protection capabilities with standard default settings (including on-execution protection features) of eScan Corporate 360. The product successfully blocked malware and Trojan infections. It has cleared the rigorous and most comprehensive tests with 398 live cases. These test-cases covered a wide range of current malicious sites and checked the capabilities on real case scenarios for the protection level and product features.

The test environment covered the process of accessing the URL (Web site), downloading the file, formation of the file on the local hard drive, file access and file execution and the product's ability to protect the PC along with the signature based and heuristic detection abilities. eScan Corporate 360 showed consistent performance in detecting and protecting users from either intentional or accidental download/installation of rogue software. The product received the award for its robustness in protection, with a high detection rate without reducing the system performance; and its latest features and usability, such as Web protection.

On receiving this award, Mornay Viljoen, CEO and Managing Director of eScan South Africa, said: "With the rise in the number of global threats in enterprises and corporate segments, our R&D team is continuously striving to stay ahead in providing robust security solutions to defend against emerging cyber threats.
