All computer security companies are keen to offer the best antivirus products and GFI Software, which makes the VIPRE range of products, has just announced some new accolades.

GFI’s security business has picked up a best antivirus award in the shape of a completed certification from the OESIS OK programme, a programme created by OPSWAT which provides development tools that run and power software application manageability. The purpose of the certification is simple: to offer independent verification that the products given the award are effective, safe, and efficient enough to be of excellent value to the buyer. It is no wonder, then, that GFI VIPRE is proud of its new award.

Like the Oscars, the OESIS OK award has its categories in which products compete for the title: VIPRE were awarded Certification in the Antivirus Category, and a Gold Certification in the Antiphishing Category. This award extends throughout VIPRE’s array of products, from their consumer packages – such as VIPRE Antivirus and VIPRE Antivirus Premium – to their business and enterprise versions, such as VIPRE Enterprise and VIPRE Enterprise Premium.

OESIS OK certification brands VIPRE as having the OESIS Framework incorporated into their features; this means that they are run and detected by the OESIS Framework and ensure seamless connectivity and interoperability.

Jeremy Sheldon, OESIS OK Program Manager at OPSWAT, says: “We are pleased that the VIPRE product line continues to demonstrate its commitment to application manageability by participating in the OESIS OK Program. Certification assures the more than 50 million endpoint users of the OESIS Framework that an application has passed rigorous tests to ensure immediate and ongoing interoperability.”

VIPRE will no doubt be keen to stress the addition of this new certification, which they believe will help to encourage the image that VIRPE is up there with the best antivirus products on the market.
