SecureIT 2011 Ranks Highest in Internet Security by Independent Research, Outperforms Leading Brands

Online, July 7, 2011 (Newswire.com) - SecureIT 2011, the leading Internet security platform for independent service providers offered by SecurityCoverage, was recently reviewed by independent research firms AV Test.org and AV Comparatives.org as outperforming leading security brands for protection from rising Internet security threats. These two Internet security benchmarking organizations analyze and rate Internet security platforms for performance and effectiveness.

AV Test.org tested SecureIT 2011 against the WildList, a leading benchmark for the anti-virus industry that catalogs the growing malware threat. SecureIT 2011 achieved a perfect score by successfully detecting 100% of the infections in the WildList.

AV Comparatives.org, an independent non-profit organization used as a benchmark by the security software industry, recently conducted testing of SecureIT 2011, including on-demand detection against five different categories: Worms, Backdoors/Bots, Trojans, Other Malware/Viruses, and False Positives. SecureIT 2011 scored higher in these tests than some of the leading Internet security brands today, including McAfee Antivirus, Norton Antivirus, and Trend Micro Titanium AV+.

"The security software industry has recognized SecureIT 2011 as a best-in-class Internet security platform that is more than prepared to protect the customers of our wholesale partners against evolving security threats," said Robert O'Dell, President, CEO of SecurityCoverage.
