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

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. 

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. 

Stop a threat before it executes, and you maintain business continuity. Respond after it runs, and you increase the odds of business disruption and costly remediation. Security solutions vary significantly in their ability to block threats pre-execution, and the latest AV-Comparatives Enterprise Advanced Threat Protection test quantifies this gap in stark terms: Bitdefender blocked 87% of threats at the pre-execution stage, while other vendors blocked just 36% of attacks pre-execution, on average. This 51-percentage-point advantage reveals more than superior detection rates—it demonstrates a fundamental architectural difference in how security solutions approach protection.   

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

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.  

Bitdefender recently rolled out new functionality in Bitdefender GravityZone, a comprehensive 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.  

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.
