AV-TEST Award 2025 for Seqrite
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. The AV-TEST Best Performance 2025 Award for Corporate Users is being presented to Seqrite Endpoint Protection for its top scores and proven results in all performance tests on office PCs under Windows.
AV-TEST Award 2025
for Seqrite
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 Seqrite – special recognition for strong IT security
In companies, many employees often work on somewhat less-equipped office PCs. At this juncture, if a protection solution in a corporate environment consumes too many system resources, it slows down work and may even lead to additional costs. That is why the AV-TEST lab evaluates how heavily endpoint protection products put a strain on systems and also slow down data traffic into the network.
In all tests in 2025, Seqrite's solution for corporate users proved how intelligently it utilizes the resources of office PCs and thus puts hardly any additional load on Windows systems. As the recorded values were always below the industry standard, Seqrite deserved recognition. In honor of this special performance, the AV-TEST team is presenting Seqrite Endpoint Protection with the Best Performance 2025 Award for Corporate Users.
“When a protection solution slows down office PCs so much that employees become annoyed and try to deactivate the solution, this threat scenario would leave companies wide open to attackers. That is why it is important that protection solutions for corporate users handle system resources sparingly on the PCs they protect. The Seqrite Endpoint Protection solution did this so perfectly in all tests that we were able to present the Best Performance 2025 Award in the category of corporate users for this achievement. Congratulations!”, exclaims Erik Heyland, Head of Testing Labs at AV-TEST.
