Certification
OPSWAT provides a security software interoperability certification program for application types, including:
Antiphishing
Antispyware
Antivirus
Backup software clients
Data loss prevention software
Device access control
Disk encryption software
Health Agents
Instant Messengers
Patch management
Personal firewalls
URL Filtering
Virtual machines
Virtual private network clients
Although the program shares the idea of software certification with testing agencies like ICSA Labs, West Coast Labs, Virus Bulletin and AV-Comparatives, unlike those agencies it does not certify applications for their efficacy, but rather for their level of interoperability and manageability with third-party technology. The program, therefore, is not in competition with anti-malware testing companies and has, in fact, formed partnerships with several of them.
