Threat Protection Pro\u2122 earns AV-Comparatives certification for the second year in a row<\/em><\/p>\n

LONDON, (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The cybersecurity feature Threat Protection Pro\u2122, included in the leading VPN application NordVPN<\/u><\/a>, has once again been recognized as one of the top tools for detecting phishing websites in an independent test conducted by AV-Comparatives.<\/p>\n

“Phishing websites are one of the biggest threats to internet users worldwide. They steal personal data, login credentials, and financial information from unsuspecting users before redirecting them or disappearing entirely. We put our greatest effort into protecting our customers from the consequences caused by these sites,” says Domininkas Virbickas, product director at Threat Protection.<\/p>\n

AV-Comparatives<\/u><\/a>, an independent testing lab, conducted an extensive test between May 15-28, 2025, to evaluate the effectiveness of various cybersecurity products in detecting and blocking phishing websites. The company certified 10 solutions against 228 phishing URLs and 200 clean ones to see how well they could protect users. NordVPN\u2019s Threat Protection Pro\u2122<\/u><\/a> detected 90% of phishing websites.<\/p>\n

Last year, NordVPN became the first VPN service provider to be approved by AV-Comparatives for anti-phishing protection<\/u><\/a>, and this year we got tested again to remain the only VPN provider with such certification.<\/p>\n

To be approved by AV-Comparatives for Anti-Phishing Protection, at least 85% of the phishing URLs used must be detected and blocked, without causing any false alarms with legitimate online banking and related sites.<\/p>\n
