AHNLAB,INC. announced on the 25th that its endpoint security solution, “AhnLab V3,” participated in the June certification evaluation of “VB100” by the global security evaluation organization Virus Bulletin and achieved a 100% malware detection rate, earning the highest rating of A+.
VB100 is a global security certification that verifies the ability of Windows-based endpoint security products to respond to malware circulating in real-world environments; it is a leading performance evaluation program in which major global security companies consistently participate. Based on various threat scenarios that reflect real-world conditions, it simultaneously verifies detection rates and accuracy, serving as a key indicator for evaluating a product’s fundamental detection capabilities and stability.
In this June evaluation, AHNLAB,INC. V3 demonstrated the highest level of detection accuracy and stability by achieving a 100% malware detection rate while meeting the certification criteria for false positives. Notably, it was the only major Korean security company participating in the same evaluation to achieve a 100% detection rate, and by securing the top grade of A+, it showcased its differentiated technological competitiveness.
Furthermore, using a verification dataset (Certification Set(*)) based on actual malware in circulation, it detected every single piece of malware currently being distributed without missing a single one, while also meeting the false positive criteria for legitimate files, thereby proving the security reliability required in real-world environments.
Yang Ha-young, Head of AHNLAB,INC.’s ASEC Division, stated, “This perfect-score certification validates the product’s fundamental security capabilities—accurately detecting malware circulating in real-world environments while meeting false-positive thresholds for legitimate files—and simultaneously proves the detection accuracy and engine stability of AhnLab V3.” “We will continue to advance our world-class threat response technology and AI-based analysis capabilities to provide a consistent and reliable security system across various environments,” he added.
Meanwhile, AHNLAB,INC. has been recognized by Germany’s AV-TEST Institute as a “Top Product” (based on the latest test criteria as of February 2026) in the “AV-TEST” evaluation, and the “ATT&CK Assessment” by MITRE in the U.S. (participation in Round 7 of the 2025 MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise Assessment under the latest criteria, recording a 100% block rate in the “Protections” category), thereby demonstrating its global security competitiveness.
