AV-TEST Awards Norton for Best MacOS Security 2024
The AV-TEST Institute has awarded Norton 360 the "Best MacOS Security Award for Consumer Users 2024". The award recognizes the product's consistently high scores in security tests throughout the year.
In March 2025, the German cybersecurity research firm AV-TEST announced its 2024 award winners, recognizing Norton 360 with the "Best MacOS Security Award for Consumer Users". This award honors products that demonstrate exceptional performance and reliability in cybersecurity tests over an extended period.
AV-TEST conducts rigorous evaluations of security products for both consumers and businesses across Windows, macOS, and Android platforms. The 2024 awards were presented to solutions that consistently achieved top scores in comprehensive tests assessing protection, performance, and usability. These accolades highlight the products' effectiveness in defending against evolving cyber threats.
Norton 360 specifically received recognition for its robust protection of macOS systems. Despite an increase in malware targeting macOS, Norton 360 demonstrated in AV-TEST's laboratory tests its capability to shield systems from attacks without significantly impacting performance. The award is based on extensive testing of its protective functions, performance impact, and ease of use, with consistent high ratings throughout 2024.
Erik Heyland, Head of Testing Labs at AV-TEST, stated that Norton 360 proved its merit for the Best MacOS Security award. He congratulated the Norton team for their research and development efforts. The AV-TEST awards aim to build trust in tested products among consumers and enterprise users alike.
