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.

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

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.

Email remains the primary vector for cyberattacks. Attackers favor "low and slow" tactics—highly targeted spear-phishing, sophisticated brand impersonation, and supply chain fraud. To close these gaps, organizations need more than just a filter at the front door; they require deep visibility inside the mailbox and the ability to act even after an email has been delivered.

The coverage of Anthropic’s Mythos Red Team report has followed a predictable arc: a sensational headline, reactions ranging from alarm to dismissal, and little engagement with what the research actually demonstrates. That is worth correcting, because what Mythos reveals is not primarily a story about AI finding vulnerabilities. It is a story about why trusting software is no longer a viable strategy, and what the architectural response should be. 

Handala’s Surge Signals a New Wave of Wartime Cyberattacks

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

Bitdefender has analyzed the movements of dozens of ransomware groups executing campaigns against organizations based in the United States. As a result of this analysis, we can draw insights into patterns that emerged in early 2026. The analysis that follows expounds on key trends and developments. We also share predictions that underscore how ransomware operations and attack patterns may take shape during spring 2026.

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.

How Cybersecurity Became the Defining Challenge for European Banks

Ransomware Group AtomSilo Returns After 5 Year Absence

I'd like to thank my coauthors Adrian Schipor, Victor Vrabie, Marius Baciu, and Martin Zugec for their invaluable contributions to this research. 

AI hype is everywhere.

An attacker’s initial access, whether through phishing, unmanaged devices, exploited vulnerabilities, or a compromised supply chain, marks the beginning of a dangerous chain of events.

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.”

The 0APT Ransomware Hoax: A New Threat Sounds a False Alarm

The ransomware threat actor Coinbase Cartel first emerged in September 2025 and claimed 14 victims that month. The group focuses on data exfiltration, which aligns with a trend Bitdefender is tracking in the ongoing evolution of ransomware.
