designed to address the entire threat lifecycle

Bitdefender GravityZone Elite

 

Protect your enterprise against the full spectrum of sophisticated cyber threats with speed and accuracy.
GravityZone Elite provides a layered next-gen architecture that delivers prevention, detection, remediation and visibility in a single modular platform.

To effectively protect yourself from highly sophisticated cyber attacks that evade conventional endpoint security tools, you need a layered defense approach with multi-stage signature-less technologies, including advanced machine learning, behavioral analysis, anti-exploit and integrated sandbox.

Protection Against the Most
Sophisticated Threats

  • Detects threats that evade endpoint security
  • Accurate prevent at pre-execution
  • Low level of false positive
  • Zeroes-in on advanced hacking tools, exploits, ransomware, gray-ware and PUPs

Intelligent Response

  • Immediate and automatic actions
  • Prevent damages caused by advanced attacks
  • Automatic sandbox submission
  • Terminate malicious processes
  • Roll back malicious changes

Improved Context and Insight

  • Provide better context on advanced threats
  • Connect threats with threat actions
  • Enhanced endpoint optics for future analysis and further actions
  • Expose suspicious threats (HD reports)

Features and benefits

Machine Learning Predicts and Blocks Advanced Attacks

Largest security big-data platform collects real-time data from over 500 mil endpoints to anticipate the emerging threats and to deliver instant protection against both known and unknown attacks.

HyperDetect™ Blocks Attacks at Pre-execution

Bitdefender HyperDetect contains machine learning models and stealth attack detection technology. It forms an additional layer of security, specifically designed to detect advanced attacks and suspicious activities in the pre-execution stage.

Sandbox Analyzer Enhances Targeted Attack Detection

Bitdefender Sandbox Analyzer provides pre-execution detection of advanced attacks by automatically sending files that require further analysis to cloud sandbox and taking remediation action based on the verdict.

Process Inspector Detects and Stops Fileless Attacks

Bitdefender Process Inspector is a behavior anomaly detection technology that provides protection against never-before-seen threats in the on-execution stage.

Endpoint Control and Hardening

Many features work together to reduce the attack surface: Patch Management, Full Disk Encryption, Web Threat Protection, Firewall, Application & Device Control.

Advanced Anti-exploit

The Bitdefender Memory Protection layer protects against known and unknown exploits targeting browser and application vulnerabilities in on-execution stage.

Benefits

Detect and Prevent the Full Range of Sophisticated Threats and Unknown Malware

Elite defeats advanced threats and unknown malware that evade traditional endpoint protection solutions, including ransomware. Advanced attacks such as PowerShell, script-based, fileless attacks and sophisticated malware can be detected and blocked before execution.

Detect and Stop Fileless Malware

Fileless malware attacks execute malicious code directly in memory. Since no file is present on the disk, AV solutions designed for file analysis are blind to this type of attack. Bitdefender leverages Advanced Anti-Exploit, HyperDetect™ and Process Inspector to detect, block and interrupt fileless attacks.

Stop Macro and Script-Based Attacks

In this case, attackers are trusted MS Office Macros that use Windows administration tools like PowerShell to run scripts and download malicious code to execute attacks. Since these are “trusted” Windows tools, most endpoint security products, including the pure next-gen AV providers, don’t scrutinize scripts, like Powershell, WMI, Javascript interpretors etc. Bitdefender adds Command-Line Analyzer techniques to intercept and securitize scripts, alerting admins and blocking the script from running if it carries out malicious commands.

Automate threat remediation, containment and response

Once a threat is detected, Elite instantly neutralizes it through actions including process termination, quarantine, removal and roll-back of malicious changes. It shares threat information in real time with GPN, Bitdefender’s cloud-based threat intelligence service, preventing similar attacks worldwide. 

 

Improved Threat Context and Visibility

GravityZone’s Elite unique capability to identify and report suspicious activities gives admins early warning of malicious behavior such as dubious operating system requests, evasive actions and connections to command and control centers.

 

Boost operational efficiency

Bitdefender’s single, integrated endpoint security agent eliminates agent fatigue. The modular design offers maximum flexibility and lets administrators set security policies. GravityZone automatically customizes the installation package and minimizes the agent footprint. Architected from the ground up post-virtualization and post-cloud security architectures, GravityZone provides a unified security management platform to protect physical, virtualized and cloud environments.

 

HyperDetect™ Blocks Attacks at Pre‑execution

GravityZone Elite comes with HyperDetect, a next-gen layer in pre-execution, that uses specialized local machine models, behavior analysis techniques trained to spot hacking tools, exploits and malware obfuscation techniques. It effectively blocks attacks that both traditional endpoint and so-called “next-gen AV” defenses miss.

FAQ’s

HOW CAN I GET A LICENSE FOR GRAVITYZONE ELITE?

To ask for a demo of GravityZone Elite, please fill in this Inquire Form

HOW CAN I GET HELP AROUND INSTALLATION?

Your Bitdefender Partners will put you in contact with our experts who will help you install and configure your Bitdefender solution for the optimal protection and performance your business applications need.

CAN I CHOOSE TO PROTECT ONLY A PART OF THE MAILBOXES AND LEAVE THE REST UNPROTECTED?

Security for Exchange does not support protecting only a part of the mailboxes and excluding specific mailboxes from licensing. Security for Exchange is designed to protect the Exchange organization to which the protected Exchange Server belongs.
This means it protects all active mailboxes, including user/room/equipment/shared mailboxes.
For security reasons, it is recommended to protect all mailboxes. Otherwise, malware can enter your infrastructure using the unprotected mailboxes and then spread in the entire organization.

ARE THERE ADDITIONAL FEATURES THAT I CAN ADD TO ELITE?

To any Bitdefender endpoint solution, you can add additional protection layers, to increase the protection areas. You can add Patch Management to keep your Windows OS and Applications up to date, or Full Disk Encryption to protect data residing on your endpoints. (-> Patch Management, Full Disk Encryption, HVI)
