Combatants in the LinuxWorld Fight Club were put to the test by Untangle, a developer of IT security solutions for corporate networks.

“Kaspersky Lab has been developing antivirus solutions for Linux since 1999 and we have accumulated a wealth of experience during this time. It comes as no surprise that our product has achieved the top score,” said Product Development Manager at Kaspersky Lab, Evgeny Vigovsky. “We offer Linux/FreeBSD-based solutions that protect all types of traffic from all types of Internet threats. The purpose of our Linux solutions is not so much to protect the Linux servers as to protect the traffic that is transferred via these servers to Windows users.”
