We are AMTSO
AMTSO is the Anti-Malware Testing Standards Organization, a community of over 60 security and testing companies from around the world. We create objective standards and best practices for testing of anti-malware and related products.
We provide free tools to help anyone – from home users to professional testers – confirm that their security products are working properly.
