MRG Effitas is a world-leader in independent IT security efficacy testing, research and expertise. In the drive to protect businesses and home users from ever more advanced malicious threats, malware and viruses, our innovative work is helping security vendors to be the best they can be. Our strategy has been to invest heavily into market-leading expertise and research so that we can be at the frontier of efficacy assessment. As a result, we are the most forward-looking research organisation in our field, with a unique degree of technical competence in anticipating and planning for future trends and challenges, for example in WAF and NextGen testing. Since its earliest incarnation as the Malware Research Group in 2009, Effitas has focused on providing ground-breaking testing processes and realistically modelling real-world environments in order to generate the most accurate efficacy assessments possible. We are recognised by many renowned security vendors as the leading testing and assessment organisation in the NextGen, online banking, browser security and cloud security spaces, and have become the partner of choice for organisations within these sectors around the world. In addition to our work with established vendors we can work with innovative digital security start-ups, providing full lifecycle support, comparative assessments and expertise that establishes them at the leading edge of their industry. Our ability to quality-stamp burgeoning organisations means we can be a growth partner for new firms and potential investors.
