Protection – Bitdefender TechZone

A lack of accurate threat detection and automated protection capabilities will expose companies to security incidents, which may result in several types of losses, including data, reputational, and financial. It is crucial that organizations implement automated protection controls to actively defeat attacks in real-time.

Corporate data is often accessible from different devices and applications. This increases the risk of attacks coming from multiple vectors. To protect organizations against advanced threats, security measures must be implemented to protect not only endpoints, but also email, networks, identities, and cloud infrastructures. Today, end-user laptops and mobile devices are often the least secure elements in organizations. By taking a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity, companies minimize the risk of security incidents and safeguard their data and reputation.

Bitdefender GravityZone is based on a multi-layered security approach that aims to safeguard against both known and unknown threats. The security measures can be visualized as an inverted pyramid with different levels. At the highest level, we have Prevention, then Protection, Detection, and Response in the end. Within the protection layer, multiple layers actively defeat attacks as they attempt to compromise systems. Various techniques are employed, from network filtering to advanced memory and process inspection. These measures effectively block unauthorized access and mitigate the risk of data loss or theft, reducing the attack surface for organizations of all sizes.

Bitdefender holds over 580 patents for core technologies including advanced Machine Learning algorithms. This ongoing dedication to innovation is focused on identifying malware and other types of threats. Our anomaly-based detection techniques are critical for blocking new and unknown threats. These mechanisms are designed to act as automated protection controls, but administrators can configure the ultimate action taken in response to automated detection capabilities for both known and unknown threats. This reduces the risk of security incidents in organizations by providing robust protection which defeats attacks before they can advance.

Advanced protection and automation give businesses the time to focus on their core tasks by defeating attacks that would otherwise escalate into broader security incidents. Our approach recognizes that eliminating false positives is also imperative to reducing management overhead.

Bitdefender protection mechanisms ensure alerts are generated only when there is a real threat. This approach eliminates unnecessary disruptions and enables businesses to stay focused on their operations without being constantly bombarded by false alerts.

Finally, detection mechanisms are backed by telemetry from hundreds of millions of endpoints worldwide. This enables us to identify emerging threats and vulnerabilities in real-time, giving our clients a competitive edge in the fight against cybercrime.
