Bitdefender rolled out new functionality in Bitdefender GravityZone, a unified cybersecurity platform that provides prevention, protection, detection, and response capabilities for organizations of all sizes. These features are consistent with our multi-layered security strategy and are intended to ease the workload of security analysts, administrators, and users.

As Linux dominates cloud-native infrastructure and macOS becomes the standard for high-value targets in development and executive leadership, the attack surface is no longer Windows-centric. Modern attack playbooks weaponize Living off the Land (LOTL) binaries–pre-installed, legitimate system tools–to blend malicious activity with normal operations and bypass standard detection telemetry.

For years, cybersecurity strategies have been built around a simple assumption: stop malicious files, stop the attack.

Security solutions have become so complex that many small and lean security teams aren’t looking for another dashboard or additional source of alerts—even when they’re at RSA. Instead, they’re exploring ways to simplify security operations without reducing effectiveness.

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.”

Bitdefender rolled out an extensive list of updates and new functionality in Bitdefender GravityZone, a unified cybersecurity platform that provides prevention, protection, detection, and response capabilities for organizations of all sizes. These features, consistent with our multi-layered security strategy, are intended to ease the workload of security analysts, administrators, and users.

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. This year’s document included 18 vendors, yet just five received the Customers’ Choice distinction.Bitdefender received a 4.8 out of 5.0 overall rating*, resulting in placement in the upper-right quadrant of the report, with 96% of reviewers indicating they would recommend Bitdefender. The reviews considered for this report are for Bitdefender’s GravityZone, a comprehensive cybersecurity platform offering prevention, protection, detection, and response for organizations of all sizes.“The strongest validation comes from customers who rely on our technology every day,” said Andrei Florescu, president and general manager of Bitdefender Business Solutions Group. “In our opinion, this recognition reinforces the industry’s shift toward a more proactive, adaptive approach to cybersecurity that helps organizations reduce risk by aligning protection to how users actually work.”  

Security incidents often result from misconfigured policies, not necessarily a failure of a security product itself. Another challenge involves overlooking newly released features that must be manually enabled in endpoint configurations. While the default settings in Bitdefender GravityZone are an excellent starting point, securing your unique environment requires configurations tailored to your specific operations. 

For many organizations in Australia, the Essential Eight has become a practical and necessary roadmap to strengthening cyber defenses. Developed by the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC), the framework helps organizations reduce the likelihood and impact of cyberattacks by focusing on key baseline technical controls.  

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, a new paradigm is emerging that goes beyond traditional prevention and detection methods. Preemptive cybersecurity represents a sophisticated new approach to protecting digital assets before an attack can begin, but will it work? 

Across your organization's infrastructure, all devices like firewalls, servers, endpoints, applications (e.g., BEST agent), and cloud services are constantly generating their own unique telemetry, often in different formats (log, txt, JSON, csv, etc.) and sizes. This volume of data creates a critical operational challenge: it is impossible to manually parse, search, or effectively correlate security events across platforms.

Many modern security teams are overwhelmed by tool sprawl. While it’s natural to believe that more tools mean stronger security, this complexity often creates gaps, weakens defenses, and overwhelms teams. The reality is that with the right support and shared intelligence, using fewer, smarter tools can help your teams build stronger, more lasting protection.

Microsoft officially abandoned support for most versions of Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. It will continue to offer Extended Security Updates (ESU) temporarily for Windows 10 version 22H2, but that support will eventually expire as well, and can be expensive to maintain. This decision by Microsoft is significant because 40%-45% of Windows users globally still regularly use Windows 10. From a cybersecurity perspective, this poses a significant risk. By ending support for the OS, Microsoft will no longer provide key updates to close vulnerabilities and fix bugs in Windows 10. This creates an enticing target for threat actors who are always on the lookout for the lowest-hanging fruit.  

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.
