Gen Brands Recognized Across Independent Cybersecurity Tests
At Gen, we're proud to power Digital Freedom for nearly 500 million users across the globe. And, we're honored when our work is validated by independent industry leaders. In the latest round of cybersecurity evaluations, four of our trusted consumer brands — Norton, Avast, AVG and Avira — earned a total of 16 awards from the world's top third-party testing institutions: AV-Comparatives, AV-Test and AVLab. A Testament to Real-World Protection and Performance Independent testing labs assess products on their ability to defend against real threats, including day-to-day malware to sophisticated, emerging attacks. The awards we've received reflect excellence across core areas like: Here's what the experts saw: Why it matters (to us, and to you) This work isn't theoretical. It's personal. We build tools that detect threats and protect against them,,helping protect what matters most — one click, one alert, one quiet block at a time. And when we earn recognition from AV-Test or AVLab — or take home the Cybersecurity Excellence Award for 2025 — that's great. But we measure success in peace of mind. In protection that's felt, not flashy. Leena Elias, our Chief Product Officer, said it best: 'People trust us. These awards are just one more reason why.' Cyber threats continue to grow in complexity. From phishing and fake online shops to AI-powered scams and advanced malware. The stakes have never been higher. That's why independent validation matters to the millions of people who rely on our products every day.
