AV-Comparatives Awards 2025 for G Data

G-Data products enjoyed a very successful year in AV-Comparatives’ tests of consumer and enterprise 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.

The G Data Total Security interface is highly intuitive, organized with a single row of tiles for straightforward navigation. The installation process is flexible, offering a choice between a default setup or a custom option that allows users to select individual components. Additionally, the dashboard provides a detailed status of each protection module, and the program features excellent access control.

G DATA Endpoint Protection Business is a long-standing product line that has developed from a static scanning engine only product into incorporating next generation scanning and heuristic technologies. These technologies help us detect and prevent malware even when normal scanning approaches fail.

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.
