In 2025, Kaspersky business and consumer solutions were evaluated in 100 independent tests and reviews. Its products secured first place in 90% of assessments and placed within the top three in 94%.
The TOP3 metric reflects how successful a vendor was in independent comparative tests within a calendar year. By combining the total number of tests that a company participated in with the number of top three positions it took, the TOP3 metric delivers a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness and reliability of cybersecurity solutions for both enterprise and consumer markets. The metric draws from evaluations performed by recognised independent testing laboratories, including AVComparatives, AVTEST, SE Labs, and other trusted test institutes.
Kaspersky business and consumer solutions regularly undergo a series of exhaustive, multi-aspect evaluation programs conducted by independent testing organisations. The year 2025 marked another successful chapter in the history of TOP3 metric rankings. During the 2013-2025 period, Kaspersky has taken part in more than 1100 independent evaluations, achieving TOP3 positions in 965 of them and attaining the highest scores amongst all of its competitors.
