• This year’s awards confirm what your teams feel every day when they trust in Symantec and Carbon Black—peace of mind.
• Independent testers pushed our protections to their limits, only for them to come out on top, granting your SOC fewer fires and a whole lot more certainty.
• Every accolade we’ve received is really a reflection of you: the organizations counting on us to keep operations running smoothly and securely.  

Awards in cybersecurity don’t revolve around red carpets or acceptance speeches. It’s all about tangible proof. And over the course of this year, we’ve sure racked up more than a few.

To us at Symantec and Carbon Black, these are more than trophies on a shelf. When we bring home industry honors, it’s the organizations that rely on us to stay ahead of attacks that truly rise above the rest. 

We’ve said it before: gratitude runs deep here. We’re deeply thankful for the SOC teams who trust us, for the epic teams behind our defenses, and the independent evaluators who put us through rigorous, high-fidelity testing to confirm our legendary protections perform exactly as they’re designed to. It feels good knowing you continue to trust in our award-winning portfolio for your business’ safety and long-term resilience. 

That’s the stuff legends (like you) are made of. 

Legends recognize legends 

Throughout 2025, highly respected independent institutions like SE LABS, MRG Effitas, and AV-TEST named our protections among the best in the business. While we’re certainly proud of these accomplishments, what these wins mean for you matter even more—stronger security, reduced risk, productivity gains, and peace of mind. 

Endpoint defenses that catch every threat before the nick of time

Tested under conditions SOCs face every day, Symantec Endpoint Security Complete (SES Complete) delivered a 100% protection score in AV-TEST’s evaluations. That’s zero misses, zero compromise, and zero doubts. In earning AV-TEST’s Top Product badge, SES Complete proved its reliability and resilience where it matters most: the hands of your SOC. And with top scores across protection, performance, and usability, you can trust your defenses will hold strong every single time.

High-performance DLP that scales and protects your workflows, without slowing you down

Broadcom’s long-running collaboration with Google Cloud brings Symantec DLP’s world-class protections directly into Google Workspace and Google Chrome Enterprise, allowing your data protection policies to follow you everywhere your teams work, without sacrificing performance. And Google recognized the benefits quickly. Delivering 100x more bandwidth than other Security Service Edge (SSE) offerings, Symantec DLP integrates seamlessly with Google’s offerings so everybody wins— especially you. 

Precision security with zero false alarms, cutting out alert fatigue  

SE Labs’ rigorous testing methodology sets the standard for the entire security industry, simulating sophisticated attacks in their tests like the ones organizations face every day. Their focus on detailed results and uncompromising integrity makes their evaluations one of the most trusted in cybersecurity. Which makes it all the more striking when SES Complete delivered 0% false positives with 100% protection accuracy, proving its ability to detect and stop threats even in the toughest environments. 

Flawless ransomware protection for Windows

Another win rolled in from SE Labs. After rigorous testing and real client feedback, the SE Labs Awards 2025 recognized our top-tier Windows endpoint protection and network detection and response security as best-in-class. Both products earned SE Labs’ coveted AAA rating by blocking 556 real-world ransomware payloads with zero false positives—a flawless performance by any standard. But coming from one of the most meticulous testing outfits in the industry, that validation sure hits different. 

Comprehensive protection without lengthy manual interventions or guesswork

MRG Effitas sets itself apart from traditional testing houses by focusing on “efficacy assessments” that measure whether security products actually stop real-world threats and prevent financial fraud. Their quarterly MRG Effitas 360° Level 1 certification, one of the most demanding in the industry, requires complete protection from initial infection and a successful Real Botnet test. SES Complete delivered zero misses, zero false blocks, and end-to-end complete protection. Total coverage, proven under pressure. 

Global recognition that your defenses are built for the long haul 

Newsweek and Statista R named Broadcom one of the top cybersecurity providers of the year in their inaugural list honoring the most outstanding defenders of today’s digital landscape. With recognition across five of eight mission-critical categories—from Application and Data Security to Infrastructure, OT, and enterprise-grade Threat Detection and Response—we’re proud to build and deliver protections that aren’t just trusted, but industry-defining.

It’s all for you 

Testing and awards matter, but only because they help validate what organizations experience every day when they trust in Symantec and Carbon Black: consistent, world-class defenses engineered to adapt to future threats before they’re even on your radar. 

That’s why we want to keep doing more for you and the cybersecurity community. Our dedication to innovation has only strengthened under Broadcom’s illustrious R&D engine—the likes of which expand our reach every day and deliver scalable, cutting-edge tools built to flex to your needs.
