Chennai, NFAPost: AV Comparatives, the internationally respected Austrian organisation that assesses antivirus software, ranked global cybersecurity major K7 Computing Private Limited (https://www.k7computing.com/in/) No.1 in the world among other competing antivirus companies in their Performance Test conducted in April 2022.
The first Indian brand in the world to have achieved this ranking, K7 Computing received the lowest impact score of 1.6 and is the only antivirus provider to achieve the ‘Very Fast’ rating in all test categories.
AV-Comparatives is an independent, globally recognised organisation that tests the effectiveness of cybersecurity products.
