Results from AV-Comparatives and AV-TEST Place Quick Heal’s Protection Levels Ahead of Established Industry Leaders

Quick Heal Technologies, a leading global provider of IT security solutions, recently announced it has earned an Advanced ratingfrom AV-Comparatives, an independent testing authority focused exclusively on security software. The file detection test results, released this quarter, put Quick Heal on par with industry leaders such as ESET, Panda and Sophos, and ahead of a number of established vendors including AVG and Trend Micro.

“Certification by AV-Comparatives represents an official seal of approval that is globally recognized,” said Farokh Karani, Director - North America, Sales and Channels, Quick Heal Technologies. “As we enter the North American market, the advanced rating from this highly respected testing organization gives our technology immediate credibility and reinforces the Quick Heal brand as a name our customers and channel partners can trust.”

With more than 17 million customers in 100-plus countries worldwide, Quick Heal last month, announced the immediate availability of its SEQRITETMline of data security solutions in North America. Designed specifically for small to midsize enterprises (SME), SEQRITE addresses North America’s SME market void for comprehensive, endpoint, network and mobile security solutions and offers everything an SME needs to prevent internal and external threats, attacks and malicious viruses before they strike.

the AV-Comparatives results this quarter, earlier this year it received outstanding protection ratings from AV-TEST including two 100% scores for its Total Security 2016 offering. Quick Heal’s AV-TEST scores surpassed those of industry leaders such as ESET, Intel Security (formerly McAfee) and AVG when it comes to protecting against viruses and malware.
