AV-Comparatives Awards 2025 for Fortinet

Fortinet products enjoyed a very successful year in AV-Comparatives’ tests of security products, and were rewarded with numerous awards. These covered a variety of protection scenarios, system performance, and false positives, as well as a number of different platforms.

In order to be certified in the Endpoint Prevention & Response (EPR) Test, a product must achieve an average of at least 90% for combined Active and Passive Response, without incurring excessive costs. Achieving certification signifies a product’s excellence, regardless of the specific quadrant level attained within the EPR Quadrant. Receiving a ‘Certified’ designation in our Enterprise EPR Test signifies that a product has demonstrated a high level of performance and effectiveness.

AV-Comparatives’ tests are very carefully designed and executed to thoroughly and realistically simulate scenarios that face users in real life. Consequently, a certification by AV-Comparatives is a guarantee of an effective and reliable product. An “Approved Product” award means that the software has been rigorously checked to ensure that it will perform its intended task competently. It is an industry-recognised standard of quality.

AV-Comparatives’ tests have multiple aspects, to represent the different requirements of IT security solutions. Further awards highlight the effectiveness of individual programs in different protection scenarios, low false positives, and low impact on system performance. Users can thus see which programs score highly in the categories that matter most to them.
