Microsoft has officially announced a list of nine reputable antivirus software providers for the global Windows ecosystem. Bkav is included as a trusted cybersecurity brand, widely chosen by users to protect their computers amid the unprecedented surge of viruses, scams, and malware in the era of artificial intelligence (AI).

Microsoft Defender Antivirus is built into Windows to protect users against basic threats. However, to enhance defense capabilities and meet deeper security needs for workstations, Microsoft recommends a list of reputable cybersecurity solution providers whose products are fully compatible with Windows.

This recommended list helps users clearly identify which software meets standards and has been verified—especially in a market still flooded with counterfeit or unverified products.

Le Tien Thinh, Product Director of Cybersecurity at Bkav, affirmed: “Bkav is proud to represent Vietnam’s technological capability in the global cybersecurity arena. Meeting and surpassing Microsoft’s stringent evaluation standards demonstrates Bkav’s technological strength in detecting, analyzing, and handling real-world threats such as viruses, scams, and sophisticated malware. BkavPro is currently the only Vietnamese antivirus software to achieve the international AV-TEST certification—one of the world’s most prestigious evaluation standards—and is trusted by millions of users.”

For more than two decades, Bkav has continuously developed comprehensive cybersecurity solutions, helping agencies, organizations, and businesses proactively defend, detect early, and prevent cyberattacks. BkavPro, the company’s core antivirus solution, integrates artificial intelligence and real-time monitoring to detect abnormal behaviors and protect users from scams, intrusions, ransomware, and targeted attacks.

Bkav is one of the few technology enterprises in Vietnam to fully master cybersecurity technologies, owning multiple products classified as National Strategic Products and contributing significantly to enhancing national cybersecurity capacity and safeguarding digital sovereignty. With such internal capability, Bkav is considered a leading candidate in Vietnam’s strategic goal of forming large-scale, globally recognized cybersecurity enterprises.

Microsoft’s announcement of Bkav as one of its trusted global security providers further reinforces Bkav’s pioneering position and relentless effort to bring Vietnamese technology to the world, while strengthening the company’s role in ensuring safety for hundreds of millions of users.
