The cybersecurity industry has long debated whether prevention or detection is more important. The AV-Comparatives EPR Comparative Report 2025 settles the debate. By measuring both, it reveals that prevention-first is the winning strategy—stronger, simpler, and more cost-effective. Bitdefender GravityZone didn’t just participate in the evaluation; it led across the board. Bitdefender achieved the highest detection rate among all participating vendors and the lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), underscoring a commitment to both security efficacy and operational efficiency. The evaluation also proves that modern security means blocking threats before they disrupt business.  

Bitdefender is one of just six vendors to pass the AV-Comparatives Anti-Tampering Certification Test for 2025. Bitdefender earned the coveted Anti-Tampering Certification by demonstrating it consistently thwarted key defense-evasion techniques used by cybercriminals and spoiled an attacker’s ability to bypass security controls. This certification reflects our ongoing commitment to keep organizations protected against evolving cyberattack techniques.
