Over the past seven AV-Comparatives Real-World Protection Tests, Bitdefender is the only vendor to consistently stay at or above a 99.8% protection rate. And in the 2026 testing, Bitdefender GravityZone once again allowed the fewest compromised systems while maintaining among the lowest false-positive counts. Bitdefender GravityZone continues to show consistent and superior efficacy among its peers in the latest real-world AV-Comparative Business Security Test.

With several hundred vendors offering MDR services worldwide, it’s difficult to create an accurate short list of MDR providers worth considering for your organization. Yes, AI can create a list in seconds, but is the information trustworthy, or just more AI slop? Figuring it out takes time, which defeats the purpose. That’s why unbiased third-party evaluations are critical, like the 2026 IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Managed Detection and Response Service for Midmarket*.

Cybersecurity is entering a new phase—one where the gap between awareness and operational execution is becoming the industry's biggest challenge.

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

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.
