Info-Tech Research Group recognises Kaspersky Lab as ?Champion?

Kaspersky Business Space Security receives Best Overall Value Award from Info-Tech Research Group

Abingdon, UK, 6thNovember 2012 – Kaspersky Lab has been awarded ‘Champion Status’, following a recent survey from Info-Tech Research Group. Kaspersky Business Space Security also received the ‘Best Overall Value’ award as a result of the research, which aimed to help companies choose security software to meet their business needs.

The survey from Info-Tech Research Group collected information on ten major vendors and the solutions they offer to secure corporate IT infrastructure. Each vendor was evaluated on a number of criteria, primarily the company’s viability, the presence of a future product roadmap, a vendor channel strategy, product reach and technical support. Thanks to a strong showing by Kaspersky Lab in the Info-Tech survey, the company received ‘Champion’ status from the research group’s experts.

When it came to evaluating corporate security solutions, the most important criteria were functionality and usability. According to these parameters, Kaspersky Business Space Security demonstrated an excellent result, with experts describing the solution as flexible and making special mention of its ability to support a variety of desktop and mobile platforms, as well as Kaspersky Security Center – a centralised console for managing corporate security.

In addition, the Info-Tech Research Group experts compared functionality results for each product with its total cost of ownership in order to calculate a Value Index. Kaspersky Lab’s corporate solution received the highest ratio index, making it the most cost-efficient for customers and earning it a well-deserved Best Overall Value Award.

Commenting on the survey results, Alexander Erofeev, Kasperksy Lab’s Chief Marketing Officer, said: “Receiving ‘Champion’ status is an acknowledgement of Kaspersky’s strong footing in the corporate security market and in many ways makes it a benchmark for other vendors. We are also very pleased to win the Best Overall Value Award which is recognition of both the high quality and reasonable price of our corporate solution.”
