A comprehensive new report from AV-TEST, a leading independent IT
security research institute, has confirmed that HP Wolf Pro
Security’s Next Generation Antivirus (NGAV) is one of the best
Windows Antivirus Software solutions for Business Users on the

to safeguard against malware and various cyber threats.

Performance: Measuring the speed and efficiency of
the antivirus software across different systems.

HP’s top rated NGAV is available as part of HP Wolf Pro
Security, a comprehensive suite of solutions offering robust PC
protection with minimal complexity – making it an efficient and
cost-effective option for SMB and Midmarket customers. Additional
features include:
- Threat

ransomware, and unknown malware attacks.

security, ensuring safe browsing experiences.

AV-Test also analyzed HP Wolf Pro Security as part of its latest
Advanced Threat Protection assessment. The institute awarded the
product a perfect score within this testing category, recognizing
it as an “advanced” product for Endpoint Protection. The test
simulates 10 real-life attack scenarios where typical malware

product would stop the attack.
Dr. Ian Pratt, Global Head of Security for Personal Systems at
HP Inc., comments:
“We were delighted to see AV-TEST’s independent report,
verifying that HP’s NGAV performs at the highest level. Small and
mid-sized organizations are targeted by increasingly sophisticated
threats, especially as attacks are being supercharged by AI, which
can have a devastating impact on firms operating with limited
resources.
“By offering NGAV as part of the HP Wolf Pro Security suite, our
layered approach helps organizations mitigate security risks and
streamline IT operations, while providing a user-friendly
experience. This means they can guard against a wider range of
cyber threats.”
