eScan, a global cybersecurity company under MicroWorld Technologies Inc., has been awarded the prestigious AV-TEST Award 2025 for Best Advanced Protection in the Corporate Users category, recognizing its Enterprise EDR solution for exceptional defense against ransomware and infostealer threats.
The award, presented by AV-TEST Institute, highlights eScan’s consistent performance in Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) evaluations widely regarded as one of the most rigorous benchmarks in enterprise cybersecurity. In its 15th edition, AV-TEST conferred just 25 awards to 12 vendors globally, placing eScan among an elite group of high-performing security providers.
Unlike traditional malware detection tests, ATP evaluations simulate real-world cyberattack scenarios, including advanced ransomware campaigns and stealthy infostealer operations. Each test involves multiple attack stages, requiring solutions to not only detect threats but also prevent lateral movement, block data exfiltration, and neutralize attacks even after initial compromise.
“This recognition validates our ability to defend against ransomware and infostealers at every stage of the attack lifecycle.”
— Govind Rammurthy, CEO & MD, eScan
According to AV-TEST, only two enterprise security solutions achieved the Best Advanced Protection distinction in 2025. While vendors such as CrowdStrike, Sophos, and Trend Micro recorded strong individual test scores, eScan stood out for maintaining consistent excellence across the entire annual testing cycle.
eScan Enterprise EDR’s architecture combines endpoint protection (EPP), network security, device control, and behavioural analytics into a unified platform. This integrated approach enables comprehensive threat visibility and response, differentiating it from solutions that rely primarily on endpoint telemetry and cloud-based analysis.
The recognition comes at a time when ransomware attacks continue to surge globally, with India witnessing a significant rise in incidents targeting critical infrastructure and enterprises. Advanced threats increasingly exploit identity theft, credential harvesting, and lateral movement areas where multi-layered security frameworks are essential.
eScan’s solution demonstrated strong capabilities in detecting unknown malware variants, monitoring suspicious processes, and identifying command-and-control communications. Its automated response mechanisms further ensure rapid containment of threats, minimizing operational impact.
With this award, eScan reinforces its position as a leading cybersecurity provider delivering enterprise-grade protection validated by independent testing, as organizations worldwide seek robust defenses against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
