AV-TEST Award 2025 for Microworld
For quite some time, robust cybersecurity has not only been a guarantor of data protection. In times of ransomware, infostealers and other dangerous malware, it is all the more important to provide all-round protection, e.g. for identities, financial, system and network information. AV-TEST experts in the test labs ascertain in thousands of tests which protection products on the market keep their protection promise for Windows, Mac and Android, and based on the findings, the lab issues certificates for tested security. The AV-TEST Awards 2025 mark the 15th time that the institute has recognized the best security products for consumer users and companies that have consistently proven themselves with top scores in all tests. Microworld eScan Enterprise EDR receives the 2025 Award in the test category Best Advanced Protection for corporate users for consistently achieving the highest scores in the extended ATP tests under Windows.
AV-TEST Award 2025
for Microworld
AV-TEST Award – for tested and reliable IT security
There are many product reviews on the Internet. But truly professional tests always adhere to standards and are therefore fully comprehensible and reproducible at all times – as has been the case with all tests in the labs of the AV-TEST Institute for over 20 years.
All tested products for Windows, Mac and Android platforms for consumer users or corporate users are subject to these test standards, which can also be viewed on the AV-TEST website. The testers document the test findings with great reliability and extreme precision. They only award a certificate for tested security if a product fulfills the set test criteria in the evaluated areas of Protection, Performance and Usability. If the results are outstanding, products also earn further recognition as a TOP PRODUCT. Along with testing Windows solutions at set intervals, the laboratory also carries out Advanced Threat Protection tests, or ATP tests for short. In these special tests, the security products have to prove themselves repeatedly in real-life scenarios in which, depending on the threat situation, the latest attack techniques from ransomware and infostealers are deployed.
All products continuously proving themselves in the ongoing tests by achieving top scores are found in the latest AV-TEST Awards 2025 evaluation matrix. This year, the test experts at the AV-TEST Institute are presenting 25 awards to 12 different manufacturers. The awards are available in 11 categories, divided into Protection, Performance, Usability and Advanced Protection under Windows. Added to this are Mac Security and Android Security. Every manufacturer can rightfully take pride in their award – some of them even with several awards – as the pathway to one of the coveted trophies is long. Consumer users and corporate users can quickly identify reliable and continuously tested protection products on the basis of the award. In doing so, they acquire an important element of security or may even already be making use of it.
AV-TEST Award for Microworld – special recognition for strong IT security
When specialized malware such as ransomware or infostealers attack corporate systems, basic tests only show whether detection has taken place or not. The Advanced Threat Protection tests – ATP tests for short – go a step further. A protection solution has several modules for an advanced defense against an attacker, even if it cannot be fended off at the beginning, despite detection. This procedure is evaluated by the ATP tests, which are carried out at regular intervals, each with 10 real scenarios and the latest attack techniques used by ransomware or infostealers.
The security specialist Microworld and its product eScan Enterprise EDR repeatedly proved in tests in 2025 how well they detect and defend against extremely insidious malware. For its consistently high performance in the Advanced Threat Protection tests, the AV-TEST Institute presents Microworld with the Best Advanced Protection 2025 Award for Corporate Users.
"The awards in the category of Best Advanced Protection for corporate users are particularly coveted, as they recognize security products for the difficult battle against ransomware and infostealers. After all, these classes of malware have been considered the biggest threats in IT security for years. We are therefore delighted to be able to present Microworld and its product eScan Enterprise EDR with the Best Advanced Protection 2025 Award for Corporate Users", affirms Erik Heyland, Head of Testing Labs at AV-TEST.
