Organizations across Europe face a growing challenge: maintaining strong cybersecurity while meeting increasingly complex digital sovereignty requirements.

Bitdefender Recognized for a Fourth Consecutive Year for Its Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision Cybersecurity is undergoing a fundamental shift. Organizations are no longer focused solely on detecting threats after compromise. Increasingly, they are prioritizing proactive risk reduction, operational resilience, and integrated security platforms that simplify operations while strengthening outcomes.

Bitdefender GravityZone Business Security Enterprise recorded 100% relevant telemetry across all 14 attack steps during our inaugural participation in AV-Comparatives’ EDR Detection Validation Certification Test, published May 2026. Bitdefender was the only certified product to achieve complete chain-of-attack visibility.

How are organizations using the Bitdefender GravityZone Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) to reduce risk? Verified customers answer this question in the paragraphs below.

Digital sovereignty is now a strategic imperative for many European organizations. According to a new IDC Market Note¹, “Sovereignty is not viewed just as a contractual consideration, but as an architectural one, and one of technical feasibility.”

96% of customers say they are willing to recommend Bitdefender.  We are pleased to announce that Bitdefender has been named a Customers’ Choice in the 2026 Gartner Peer Insights™ Voice of the Customer for Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP) report.

In today’s threat landscape—where ransomware, phishing, and supply chain attacks evolve faster than most teams can patch—a cybersecurity review isn’t just a checkbox exercise. It’s a critical opportunity to uncover blind spots before attackers do, and it also maps vulnerabilities to business impact, helping teams justify future investments. Rather than reacting to headlines about the latest zero-day exploit, leaders can focus on what truly reduces risk and improves resilience, turning risk into readiness.
