WithSecure™ Elements blocked every threat, achieving a perfect malware detection rate.

WithSecure™ (formerly F-Secure Business) has been awarded the prestigious Best Protection Award by AV-TEST, recognizing its outstanding ability to defend organizations against cyber threats. This achievement underscores the exceptional protection capabilities of WithSecure™ Elements, the flagship cyber security solution designed to safeguard mid-market and European businesses.

Throughout 2024, AV-TEST rigorously assessed WithSecure Elements against more than 90,000 malware samples across its Enterprise Protection Test. WithSecure Elements achieved a perfect malware detection rate, blocking every single threat and effectively preventing any damage to protected machines.

“This result demonstrates the relentless dedication of WithSecure Intelligence, as well as our R&D and cyber security teams, whose expertise ensures our customers stay protected against both known and emerging threats,” says Paolo Palumbo, VP, W/Intelligence at WithSecure. “Our perfect score across the year is testament to WithSecure’s commitment to security excellence. Furthermore, this award reinforces the trust our customers place in us and validates our mission to disrupt cyber threats before they cause harm,” Palumbo concludes.

Excellence in real-world protection

WithSecure Elements excelled in real-world testing, proving its effectiveness against previously unknown malware delivered via common attack methods such as email attachments and web downloads. This capability ensures organizations are protected from emerging cyber threats as they arise.

The prevalent malware test assessed WithSecure Element’s effectiveness in detecting widespread and prevalent malware. Samples were gathered within four weeks before testing to evaluate how quickly security solutions update their defenses.

The Best Protection Award adds another milestone, reinforcing WithSecure Elements as the ideal security platform for businesses seeking protection against evolving threats.
