cybersecurity testing

AV-Comparatives has released its 2025 Anti-Phishing Comparative Test results, evaluating the phishing detection capabilities of various antivirus products, browsers, and VPNs using 1,000 phishing URLs. NordVPN's Threat Protection Pro™ achieved a 90% average detection rate for phishing websites, securing third place in the test. NordVPN was the first VPN service to receive AV-Comparatives' approval for anti-phishing protection and has maintained this certification, being the only VPN provider with such recognition. To gain AV-Comparatives' approval, a product must detect and block at least 85% of tested phishing URLs without false alarms on legitimate sites.
