Bitdefender GravityZone PHASR Endpoint Security debuts in the Middle East at GISEC Global
BUCHAREST, Romania and DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Bitdefender, a global cybersecurity leader, today announced the Middle East debut of Bitdefender GravityZone Proactive Hardening and Attack Surface Reduction (PHASR), the industry's first endpoint security solution to dynamically tailor hardening for each user—ensuring that security configurations align precisely with user-intended privileges and behaviors and continuously adapt to shrink attack surfaces. The solution will be unveiled at GISEC Global, the region's largest cybersecurity event. 'Legitimate tools and Living-Off-the-land (LOTL) techniques are now involved in over 70% of major security incidents, according to our investigations,' said Dragos Gavrilut, vice president of threat research at Bitdefender. 'GravityZone PHASR is the only purpose-built solution designed to combat this growing epidemic by precisely controlling access to tools like PowerShell and WMIC—effectively stopping LOTL-style attacks at their source.' GravityZone PHASR reduces attack surfaces, mitigates unnecessary risk, and enforces compliance by analyzing individual user behaviors such as application usage and access to resources—and dynamically restricting tools or privileges that fall outside established norms. Gartner® forecasts, 'By 2030, 60% of exposure management tasks and remediation will use intelligent automation, up from 10% today,'¹ which we believe highlights an industry shift toward preventative, automated risk mitigation. According to Gartner, 'Attack surface reduction includes all technologies that reduce an organization's exposure to compromise…The common idea behind these technologies is that there is no detection required. Attack surface reduction applies to all attacks, even the most evasive.'² GravityZone PHASR delivers a powerful, proactive approach to reducing threat exposure and compliance risk. Offered as an add-on to Bitdefender GravityZone—the company's flagship unified security and risk analytics platform—PHASR is built on years of advanced machine learning (ML) applied to users, groups, applications, and endpoints within GravityZone Extended Detection and Response (XDR). It leverages proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) to create profiles of behavioral norms across individuals and groups, focusing on key areas such as data access, application usage, and security permissions. This enables a comprehensive assessment of vulnerabilities and potential attack vectors impacting the business. Key Benefits of GravityZone PHASR include: Drastically reduces attack surfaces – GravityZone PHASR correlates user behaviors with active threat vectors and attacks. This determines the optimal attack surface configuration, unique to each user, enabling organizations to minimize the attack surface without compromising operational efficiency. Proactively stops LOTL attack techniques – GravityZone PHASR restricts access to Living-Off-the Land-Binaries (LOLBins) before exploitation, reducing data breach risks, alert fatigue and security costs. It delivers targeted hardening that minimizes access to tools and resources for users who don't require them for their daily tasks. Defeats repeatable attack patterns – GravityZone PHASR tailors defenses to each system, making it harder for attackers to reuse the same techniques across environments. Threat actors often replicate successful methods once they bypass a security tool—PHASR disrupts this by ensuring detections behave differently from system to system. 'Innovation in cybersecurity must solve real problems—not add complexity,' said Andrei Florescu, president and general manager at Bitdefender Business Solutions Group. 'GravityZone PHASR is a true game changer that strengthens endpoint security by tackling today's most pressing challenges—including stealthy LOTL attack techniques. By applying tailored security controls to each user based on behavior, PHASR minimizes unnecessary access, hardens environments, and helps organizations stay ahead as attack surfaces grow.' At GISEC Global Bitdefender will showcase GravityZone PHASR in Hall 5, Stand C108 at GISEC Global, taking place at the Dubai World Trade Center between May 6-8. In addition, Bitdefender will host a GravityZone PHASR launch seminar at the conference that will take place in the GISEC Academy Stage 2, Hall 3 on May 7 from 11:00 – 12:30pm.

ADNOC Distribution posts record Q1 2025 earnings
ADNOC Distribution, a leading UAE fuel and convenience retailer, reported a 16 per cent rise in its net profit in the first quarter of 2025 to $174 million (AED 639 million). The company also reported an 11 per cent jump in its EBITDA in Q1 this year to $275 million (AED1.01 billion), its highest first-quarter EBITDA result since its 2017 IPO. These strong results reflect growth in both fuel and non-fuel segments, driven by the company's focus on sustainable growth and cost efficiencies, ADNOC Distribution said. Bader Saeed Al Lamki, Chief Executive Officer of ADNOC Distribution, said the record first-quarter performance demonstrates the company's commitment to growth and delivering sustainable and innovative solutions to its customers, while creating long-term value for shareholders. 'Our outstanding Q1 2025 results, with an 11 per cent rise in EBITDA and a 16 per cent increase in net profit, highlight the company's outstanding progress against its 2024-2028 growth strategy and commitment to operational excellence. 'As we continue to expand our network and capabilities, adding new service stations and enhancing our customer experiences, we remain focused on capturing new opportunities and setting new benchmarks for the mobility and convenience retail industry,' he said. ADNOC Distribution said it achieved its highest-ever first-quarter fuel volume of 3.7 billion liters in Q1 2025, driven by market share growth, increasing demand, and network expansion in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. Non-fuel retail (NFR) continues to be a key growth driver for the company, outpacing fuel growth, it said. In Q1 2025, NFR gross profit grew by 14 per cent y-o-y, driven by a 9 per cent increase in transactions, higher convenience store conversion rates, and continued strong performance in car wash, lube change, and property management services. The company said it added 20 new service stations in Q1, bringing the network-wide total to 915, up from 846 in Q1 2024, putting it on track to meet its target of 40-50 new stations by the end of 2025. Key to this expansion has been the company's focus on the large and dynamic Saudi fuel retail market, where it is able to expand quickly to meet increasing demand, while minimising CAPEX by deploying a Dealer Owned-Company Operated (DOCO) business model. In Q1 2025, ADNOC Distribution contracted 15 service stations in Saudi Arabia, growing its total network in the country to 115, up by 67 per cent compared to Q1 2024. ADNOC Distribution also added 20 new quick-service retail outlets in Q1 2025, further cementing its position as the largest retail property network in the UAE with 1,165 units across the country. Additionally, the company significantly expanded its E2GO public EV charging network, adding 63 new fast and super-fast charging points in Q1, bringing the total to 283 installed across the UAE, a y-o-y increase of 318 per cent.
