There are many reasons to consider GravityZone protection:

Antimalware

Bitdefender employs advanced cybersecurity measures such as security content scanning and heuristic analysis (B-HAVE, ATC) to safeguard against a wide range of malicious software.

The scanning technique involves comparing scanned material with an up-to-date security database, however, there exists a vulnerability period between the emergence of new threats and the release of fixes.

Bitdefender’s cybersecurity tool, B-HAVE, identifies potential malware by analyzing behavioral patterns and executing suspicious files in a secure virtual environment to evaluate their effects on the system.

Advanced Threat Control

To safeguard against cybersecurity threats that manage to evade the heuristic engine, an additional level of security is implemented through Advanced Threat Control.

Advanced Threat Control constantly observes active processes and evaluates suspicious actions such as: disguising the process type, performing code execution in the memory space of another process (seizing process memory for privilege escalation), reproducing, depositing files, evading detection from process enumeration applications, etc.

HyperDetect

HyperDetect is a cybersecurity feature that provides an extra layer of protection against sophisticated cyberattacks and potentially harmful actions during the pre-execution phase.

HyperDetect, utilizes advanced machine learning models and stealth attack detection technology to safeguard against various cyber threats, including zero-day attacks, advanced persistent threats (APT), obfuscated malware, fileless attacks, credential stealing, targeted attacks, custom malware, script-based attacks, exploits, hacking tools, suspicious network traffic, potentially unwanted applications (PUA), and ransomware.

Advanced Anti-Exploit

Advanced Anti-Exploit, powered by machine learning, is a proactive technology that prevents zero-day attacks executed through evasive exploits. TheAdvanced Anti-Exploit technology detects and prevents the newest cyber-attacks in real-time, while also addressing memory corruption vulnerabilities that may bypass other security measures.

It safeguards frequently utilized applications, including browsers, Microsoft Office, and Adobe Reader, among others, along with any additional ones that come to mind. It monitors system processes and safeguards against cybersecurity threats such as unauthorized access and process hijacking.

Firewall

The Firewall regulates the network and Internet access of applications. The system grants automatic access to a comprehensive database of verified and authorized applications. In addition, the firewall has the capability to safeguard the system from port scanning activities, limit ICS functionality, and provide notifications when novel nodes are added to a Wi-Fi network.

Network Attack Defense

The Network Attack Defense module is powered by Bitdefender technology that specializes in identifying network attacks that are intended to infiltrate endpoints through various techniques, including brute-force attacks, network exploits, password stealers, drive-by-download infection vectors, bots, and Trojans.

Patch Management

The Patch Management feature, seamlessly incorporated within GravityZone, ensures that both the operating systems and software applications are always up-to-date. It also offers a comprehensive overview of the patch status for all your managed Windows and Linux endpoints.

The Patch Management module includes several features, including on-demand and scheduled patch scanning, automatic and manual patching, and missing patch reporting.

Device Control

The Device Control module effectively mitigates the risk of sensitive data leakage and malware infections that may result from external devices connected to endpoints.

This is achieved through the application of blocking rules and exceptions via policy, which covers a wide range of device types including but not limited to USB flash drives, Bluetooth devices, CD/DVD players, and storage devices.
