2013-2023 TOP3 metric description

2TOP3 metric reflects how successful a vendor was inindependent comparative tests within a calendar year.
The main characteristic of success is a TOP3 score that shows how many times a vendor with its products gained thefirst, second, or third place in independent tests they participated in within a reported period. The TOP3 score iscalculated by dividing a vendor’s TOP3 counter by a vendor’s Participation counter.
The TOP3 score is determined for each participating vendor separately and then compared to each other.
1.

2.

Depending on a test, final test results may vary from giving awards for participating vendors to providing only alist of their detection rates and false positives.
A vendors’s TOP3 counter is incremented either for winning an award or ranking in the first three places in atest. It cannot be incremented both for receiving the award and one of the first three places.
Several vendors can achieve equal results in detection rates, or summary results, or win awards of the same
grade. In this case, the vendors share the same place in the same test.
In case of detection rates or summary results, the place of a vendor with the lower result is calculated as “numberof higher ranked vendors + 1”. For instance, the sequence “1,1,2,3” is not possible, whilst “1,1,3,4”, or “1,2,2,4”, or“1,1,1,1,1,6” are . In the latest sequences TOP3 counter will be incremented for bolded vendors only.
In regards with awards, refer to rule clarifications listed in the tests description below.
A vendor’s Participation counter is incremented each time one of its products participates in atest/review/overview.
In some tests several products of one vendor can participate in the same test. In those cases, since all products
increment the vendor’s Participation counter, the Participation counter can be higher than a total number oftests.

Only those who participate in 35% or more of the total number of tests have their results represented in the chart.
The deadline for submitting scores attained in 2023 is February 1st , 2024, with no option to add any test/review after
this date.
Among the security vendors participating in the TOP3 measurements are: Avast, AVG, Avira, Bitdefender, Broadcom(Symantec), ESET, WithSecure (F-Secure), G DATA, Kaspersky, McAfee, Microsoft, Sophos, Trend Micro. A complete
list of participants appears at the end of this document.
