Global cybersecurity technology company Bitdefender has introduced GravityZone Cloud MSP Security Solutions, a new product meant exclusively for managed service providers (MSPs) and their corporate clients. It would offer “state-of-the-art” endpoint protection along with managed detection and response (MDR) services to identify and eliminate cyberthreats in any environment and boost defenses against cyberattacks.
Bitdefender GravityZone Cloud MSP Security Solutions are underpinned by the GravityZone Platform, which is a unified security and risk analytics platform. It would offer cloud security for physical, virtual, and multi-cloud environments, endpoint detection and response (EDR), and extended detection and response (XDR) in addition to advanced endpoint protection.
In addition to providing a direct route to Bitdefender MDR services for round-the-clock threat monitoring, detection and response, and proactive human-led threat hunting, the security platform would provide rich security context to detections.
Bitdefender was established in 2001 and now has offices all over the globe in addition to clients in over 170 countries. Thanks to significant investments in R&D, Bitdefender Labs verifies billions of threat queries every day and finds hundreds of new threats every minute. Bitdefender has pioneered quite some innovative technologies – in the field of artificial intelligence, behavioral analytics, IoT security, and antimalware.
“MSPs are grappling with how best to provide their business clients with the cybersecurity solutions and expertise necessary to keep up with changing threat landscapes, the ongoing shift to cloud and hybrid environments, and a rapidly growing attack surface,” stated Andrei Florescu, President and GM at Bitdefender Business Solutions Group. “Our GravityZone Cloud MSP Security Solutions directly respond to these issues, providing unmatched threat monitoring, insight into attacks, and reaction capabilities all within one highly adaptable and cost-effective platform.”
A recent publication from the analyst firm Gartner suggested that by the year 2025, up to 60% of organizations will be making use of remote threat disruption and containment services provided directly by MDR vendors, a significant increase from the estimated 30% utilising these services in 2023.”
The GravityZone Cloud MSP Security Solutions come in several tiers, namely, Secure, Secure Plus, and Secure Extra. Each level provides security protection and specialized services to accommodate the unique needs, budgets, and conditions of MSP customers, including specific compliance requirements.
The GravityZone Cloud MSP Security Solutions offer the following capabilities for each tier that are specific for managed service providers:
“Bitdefender‘s MDR offering gives us peace of mind,” stated MSP partner Blaze Networks, highlighting Bitdefender’s endpoint security and MDR capabilities. “The fact that we are no longer burdened with security investigations is amazing. Our Level 3 engineers used to dedicate 20 to 30 percent of their time on security investigations. Now, it is less than 10 percent. As a result, we are able to reallocate additional resources to one of our primary functions – high-level technical assistance. It is uncommon for our clients to have a security staff capable of continuously monitoring and responding to EDR incidents.”
