Fortinet continues to earn more certifications and validations in independent and third-party testing than any other vendor in the industry. - Publicidad - Virus Bulletin's VBWeb test is the first in the industry to challenge web filtering solutions from different vendors in rigorous real-world scenarios, including malicious URLs capable of downloading malware, in addition to other threats such as HTML pages that force browsers to download and/or install malware in the background. Web filtering is one of the first lines of defense in the comprehensive security strategy of organizations, balancing the protection for the user against suspicious web content, against appropriate access to the web by the same, without having to stop productivity. As such, security solutions must block at least 70% of the total malware to become VBWeb certified. ![Santiago Jaramillo](https://www.ventasdeseguridad.com/images/latinpress/editor-sjaramillo.jpeg) Santiago JaramilloEmail: sjaramillo@latinpressinc.com Editor Comunicador social y periodista con más de 15 años de trayectoria en medios digitales e impresos especializados para América Latina.
