Kaspersky has been named “Best Security Software” at the Commart Best Choice Awards 2026 for the second consecutive year, marking another recognition for the cybersecurity company’s consumer protection solutions. The award highlights Kaspersky’s continued presence in the security software market as individuals and organisations increasingly depend on connected devices for communication, work, financial transactions and everyday digital activities. With this growing reliance on technology, protecting personal information and digital systems from evolving cyberthreats has become an important concern for users. Kaspersky described the consecutive recognition as a result of continued customer trust and support, acknowledging the role of its users in the company’s achievement. The Commart Best Choice Awards recognise products and technology solutions across the consumer technology sector, and Kaspersky’s latest award places its security software among the products recognised during the 2026 edition. The recognition also comes as cybersecurity providers continue to develop protection technologies to address increasingly sophisticated threats targeting computers, mobile devices and other connected platforms.
The company highlighted the scale of cyberthreat activity recorded during 2025, reporting that its security technologies blocked millions of threats in Thailand during the year. Kaspersky also stated that it detected more than 500,000 new malicious files globally every day, reflecting the continuing volume of malware and other harmful software circulating across the digital environment. The threats identified include malware disguised through artificial intelligence techniques, as well as password stealers designed to obtain users’ account credentials. Such threats can expose individuals to identity misuse, unauthorised account access and potential financial losses. AI-related techniques can also make malicious content appear more convincing, creating additional challenges for users attempting to distinguish legitimate communications and files from harmful ones. Password-stealing malware, meanwhile, can compromise accounts when users’ credentials are captured through infected files, deceptive websites or other malicious methods. The figures shared by Kaspersky underline the importance of maintaining updated security measures and adopting safer digital habits as attackers continue to use different techniques to target users and their information.
Kaspersky said its Premium security offering combines advanced AI-powered technologies with multi-device protection to help users defend their digital activities against emerging cyber risks. The product is positioned as a comprehensive security solution intended to protect multiple devices and provide broader coverage than basic security tools. As consumers increasingly use several connected devices, including computers, smartphones and tablets, security solutions that support protection across different platforms have become an important consideration. Kaspersky Premium aims to address this requirement by bringing together security technologies designed to identify and respond to different forms of cyberthreats. The company’s reference to AI-powered protection reflects the growing use of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity, where automated technologies can assist in analysing suspicious activity and identifying potentially harmful files. At the same time, the increasing use of AI by malicious actors means security providers must continue adapting their detection and protection capabilities. Kaspersky’s latest award provides an opportunity for the company to highlight these features while presenting its Premium offering as an option for users seeking protection across their connected digital devices.
The second consecutive recognition at the Commart Best Choice Awards 2026 adds to Kaspersky’s efforts to strengthen its position in the consumer cybersecurity market. The company thanked customers for their continued confidence, describing their support as an important factor behind the latest achievement. The award also draws attention to the wider need for accessible digital protection as cyberthreats continue to affect users across different regions and technology platforms. While security software can help identify and block malicious activity, effective digital protection also depends on users following safe online practices, keeping software updated, using strong and unique passwords and remaining cautious when opening unfamiliar links or files. Kaspersky’s reported threat figures from Thailand and its global malware detection data demonstrate the scale of activity its security systems encounter, while the recognition at Commart reflects the product’s reception in the consumer technology market. With its second consecutive Best Security Software award, Kaspersky is continuing to promote its multi-device security portfolio, including Kaspersky Premium, as part of its approach to helping consumers manage the risks associated with an increasingly connected digital environment.
