Enterprise Security.Reinvented.

Bitdefender GravityZone is the first security management solution to properly address the scalability and performance challenges that enterprises are facing today. Built from the ground up for heterogeneous environments, and using a unique design approach, GravityZone unifies control for virtualized, physical, and mobile endpoints.

Organizations have the flexibility to deploy any or all of the three security services within GravityZone: Security for Virtualized Environments, Security for Endpoints, and Security for Mobile Devices.

Optimizing security management for the realities of cloud computing, virtualization, or BYOD is possible through innovation. The GravityZone approach provides organizations with a range of benefits including improved operations, simplified security workflows, increased performance, and reduced administrative efforts and costs. These are achieved through:

• Accelerated deployment by simply importing a virtual appliance
• Massive scalability - from the smallest to the largest installation, without performance issues
• Integration with Microsoft Active Directory, VMware vCenter, and Citrix XenServer for simplified deployment of physical and virtual endpoints
• Unified administration that eliminates point solutions and reduces administrative efforts

Unified security architected for auto scaling and high availability

The unique approach in GravityZone gives enterprises the ability to reinvent their security in order to better adapt and meet the challenges of today. GravityZone provides the following essential benefits:

Minimizing performance issues, efforts, and hardware costs– Unlike traditional solutions which require intense efforts to protect larger number of endpoints, GravityZone can be scaled with ease thanks to its virtual container architecture.

Turnkey deployment -Delivered in a virtual container, GravityZone can be imported to run on any virtualization platform. This accelerates the deployment process by simply loading the virtual appliance into any hypervisor.

Improved workflows and reduced security management efforts – By consolidating security control for physical, virtualized and mobile endpoints through the unified GravityZone Control Center, administrative activities are streamlined and point solutions eliminated.

Simplified management with VMware, Active Directory and Citrix integration – Deploying and managing protection for physical, virtual or mobile endpoints is simplified by integrating with the most important virtualization and directory services.

Industry-acclaimed protection technologies and proven security services – GravityZone combines the highly effective and optimized protection for virtualized environments with endpoint security technologies that consistently earn Bitdefender awards in the most important independent tests.

Unified security for physical, virtual and mobile environments

Bitdefender GravityZone Control Center

 

GravityZone Control Center is built and delivered as a virtual appliance that can run on any virtualization platform and addresses the needs of even the most complex enterprises’ environments. With its included redundancy and auto-scaling mechanisms, assures high level of manageability, availability, and performance, being able to support on-demand loads of hundreds to hundreds of thousands of endpoints.

GravityZone Security for Endpoints

   

Bitdefender integrates with the existing system management and monitoring systems to make it simple to automatically apply protection to unmanaged desktops, servers or mobile devices that appear on the Microsoft Active Directory. Furthermore, Bitdefender’s proprietary endpoint discovery ensures devices that are not listed in Active Directory will not remain unnoticed. Find out more.>

GravityZone Security for Virtualized Environments

GravityZone Security for Mobile Devices

Unifies enterprise-wide security with management and compliance control of iPhone, iPad and Android devices. The solution has been designed to reduce administrative burden and to support secured adoption of the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) concept by enforcing security policies consistently on all users’ devices. It simplifies device enrollment with client applications and updates distribution via Apple or Android marketplaces Security features include screen lock, authentication control, device location, remote wipe, detection of rooted or jailbroken devices and security profiles.

 

On Android devices the security level is enhanced with real-time scanning and removable media encryption. As result, the mobile devices are controlled and sensitive business information residing on mobile devices is protected.
