At AV-Comparatives, we work closely with analysts and journalists worldwide to provide accurate, independent, and actionable insights into cybersecurity software and practices. Whether you are preparing a detailed report, writing an investigative piece, or analysing market trends, our expertise ensures you have the reliable information you need.

Below, we answer common questions, but do not hesitate to reach out for personalised assistance or additional insights.

All test reports are publicly available for download and can be accessed directly from the website as HTML and PDF documents. You can additionally ask for more detailed test results in tables, graphics, and structured data formats for your needs. Experts from AV-Comparatives are available to answer your questions about test-related topics in 1:1 sessions via video conference or in-person meetings.

As a test institute specialized in independent IT security testing, we have the resources and expertise to provide you with comprehensive test results and valuable feedback on the effectiveness and characteristics of many popular cybersecurity solutions. We can also assist you in analysing the results. Please take a look at our reports and methodologies to get more information on what we offer and how we test.

You are allowed to use the published test results free of charge, but you should adhere to the following guidelines:

  • provide the source av‐comparatives.org.
  • mention our company using the ready-made sentences and company logo from our Media Materials.
  • include the date when the test was performed (e.g., March 2024).
  • always use the most recent test results.
  • we would appreciate the opportunity to review your article before it is published.
  • we would appreciate it if you could provide us with a link to your article after it is published.

We strive to test as many cybersecurity products as possible in our evaluations. However, resource constraints and product availability may occasionally limit our testing scope. We may prioritise testing popular products, as these products may have a greater impact on the overall IT security landscape. This does not necessarily mean that smaller companies or products are less effective, but it may be more difficult to allocate our limited resources to test them in our test-series.

If you want to get in touch with us and discuss further questions, use the contact form on our website. Additionally, we regularly attend various international conferences (e.g., RSA, Virus Bulletin, AVAR, it-sa, InfoSec), where you have the opportunity to connect with us. We will publish our attendance on our website and on social media platforms. Just follow us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X where you will get the actual invitation to book a slot for a 1:1 session.

Here, we provide media materials and other useful resources for analysts and journalists.
