Bkav is a Vietnamese security software and electronics company based in Hanoi. It has grown to be the most popular anti-virus software provider in Vietnam,[1] capturing over 70% of the domestic market.[2] The name of the company was based on "Bach Khoa AntiVirus", as it was founded as a spin-off of the Hanoi University of Science and Technology Bach Khoa Internetwork Security center by student Nguyễn Tử Quảng.[1]

The company has been noted for exposing security breaches in popular products such as the iPhone X Face ID.[3][4]

In 2015, the company released their first, in-house developed, smartphone,[5][6] however it had poor reception and sales numbers.[7] Bkav has also branched off to providing smart home products[8] and security cameras.[9][10]
