Working in a home office during the difficult times of the Corona pandemic is a good alternative for companies to protect employees and the enterprise. Smaller companies and self-employed individuals, however, do not have the IT infrastructures of large corporations. With the right measures, you can provide for secure home office workplaces in which company and customer data will also remain protected.

In 2019, the number of malware programs recorded by AV-TEST broke the sound barrier of one billion samples. Yet it is not only a question of sheer numbers; the sophisticated nature of new attacks is a cause for concern. Conversely, ten manufacturers of security solutions proved over an entire one-year test period that the battle for IT security is anything but lost, thanks to innovative technology. For proven peak achievements, the AV-TEST Institute is recognizing 20 products with its internationally renowned awards.
