Kaspersky Lab Product Performance Validation Testing & Certification West Coast Labs’ Conclusion In this test programme, Kaspersky Lab products have undergone probably the most extensive testing carried out by West Coast Labs against a single corporate solution. These tests range from West Coast Lab’s established Checkmark Certification to ongoing performance validation the Real Time system and the custom malware comparative testing. This programme also includes the first ever product to be awarded the Checkmark Anti-Malware Macintosh certification. Upon completion of the tests covered in this report it can clearly be seen that Kaspersky are offering an extremely competitive and thorough security package to businesses and corporate organisations. For mail-based systems, Kaspersky recorded a 100% detection rate on both Exchange and Lotus against samples which propagate over the SMTP protocol. While this is an impressive detection rate, it should be noted that the other vendors also recorded the same detection levels*. This should be an indicator to the level of importance of email coverage and the perceived threat to business communications that is held by the security industry as a whole. On file server-type systems, in this case Windows 2008 and Red Hat Enterprise 5, there is a differential in detection levels. On the Linux OS, Kaspersky recorded the highest detection rate amongst the solutions on test, whilst on the Windows OS Kaspersky recorded the second-highest detection rate. It should be noted that the difference between first and second in the Windows OS test was just 1/100 th of a percent, thus putting Kaspersky above the Industry Average as defined in the test results.

Kaspersky Lab Product Performance Validation Testing & Certification West Coast Labs’ Conclusion From the results of the test programme it can be concluded that not only do the Kaspersky solutions offer comparative detection rates to offerings from other vendors, it is clear that the level of protection afforded by Kaspersky Labs solutions is consistently high across the range of platforms. Whether corporate organisations require protection for the desktop environment, a file server, Microsoft Exchange email server, an Apple Mac client, or a server running Lotus Domino, the Kaspersky Lab performance is consistent throughout. Prospective users of Kaspersky Lab products, and specifically those featured in this report, can take confidence from the fact that the solutions are rigorously tested on an ongoing basis through the Checkmark certification system and the Real Time testing programme to ensure independent validation of a consistently high standard of product performance. *Please see footnote on page 16.
