Bitdefender Launches External Attack Surface Management Solution GravityZone EASM
Bitdefender has announced Bitdefender GravityZone External Attack Surface Management (EASM), a new solution that gives businesses, managed service providers (MSPs) and their customers comprehensive visibility into their internet-facing assets and associated vulnerabilities. GravityZone EASM dramatically reduces threat exposure and strengthens security operations through centralized discovery, monitoring, and management of expanding attack surfaces. The attack surface, encompassing all potential entry points for adversaries, is rapidly expanding due to digital transformation, cloud adoption, remote work, and increased connectivity with third-party infrastructure, including partners and customers. Without centralized oversight, assets such as unused domains, misconfigured cloud instances, and expired certificates often go unnoticed—leaving organizations vulnerable to attackers who continuously scan the internet for exposed systems. According to Gartner®, 'Through 2029, more than 60% of security incidents will be traced to misconfigured technical security controls.'¹ Additionally, a recent survey of 1,200 cybersecurity professionals found that reducing the attack surface is a top priority in their security operations. Bitdefender GravityZone EASM is agentless, requiring no endpoint deployment, and delivers a powerful, proactive approach to identifying and understanding external risks while reducing the attack surface. It continuously discovers, maps, and analyzes internet-exposed assets from an attacker's perspective, enabling organizations to quickly assess risk, identify vulnerabilities, and take action before they are exploited. The solution is available as an add-on to Bitdefender GravityZone, the company's unified security, risk analytics, and compliance platform that delivers advanced endpoint protection (EPP), endpoint detection and response (EDR), extended detection and response (XDR), and cloud-native security. GravityZone EASM scans a wide range of asset types, including IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, IP blocks, email addresses, and domains. From these scans, it delivers comprehensive asset discovery by detecting publicly exposed IPs, expiring or expired certificates, vulnerable public services, open ports, and more—ensuring no asset is overlooked. Key Benefits of Bitdefender GravityZone EASM: Fast internet-facing asset discovery – GravityZone EASM scans and maps all internet-facing assets including devices, domains, subdomains, applications, certificates, third-party connections, shadow IT, and more—in as little as 30 minutes. It delivers comprehensive visibility into a business's attack surface, even for unmanaged or forgotten assets. – GravityZone EASM scans and maps all internet-facing assets including devices, domains, subdomains, applications, certificates, third-party connections, shadow IT, and more—in as little as 30 minutes.

Continuous vulnerability monitoring, alerting, and prioritization – GravityZone EASM continuously monitors and detects vulnerabilities and misconfigurations across internal and external assets, including those managed by partners, customers, and supply chain vendors. It delivers immediate, context-rich alerts for exposed systems, expired certificates, and high-risk threats. Alerts are prioritized by severity (e.g., CVE scores) to streamline response and remediation. – GravityZone EASM continuously monitors and detects vulnerabilities and misconfigurations across internal and external assets, including those managed by partners, customers, and supply chain vendors.

Unified security, risk management, and compliance – Seamlessly integrated with Bitdefender GravityZone, combining security, risk analytics, and compliance—GravityZone EASM supports both strategic and operational use cases. Security analysts can leverage it for threat analysis and vulnerability prioritization, while administrators benefit from broader security management capabilities such as policy enforcement and access control configuration—all within a single platform. 'Security teams across businesses and MSPs face increasing pressure to keep pace with expanding attack surfaces, driven by digital transformation and complex third-party ecosystems,' said Andrei Florescu, president and general manager at Bitdefender Business Solutions Group. 'Effective defense-in-depth security starts by reducing the attack surface as much as possible before threats reach the detection and response layers. GravityZone EASM is a critical part of our vision for unified security, risk management, and compliance, enabling proactive discovery and control of internet-facing assets that could serve as potential entry points for attackers.' Availability Bitdefender GravityZone EASM is available now for select GravityZone license tiers, and Bitdefender MDR services. For more information, visit here.

Bitdefender Launches Compliance Management Solution With Endpoint Security
Bitdefender has announced GravityZone Compliance Manager, a new addition to its GravityZone platform that helps organizations reduce the burden of compliance and streamline audit readiness. Designed specifically for today's complex regulatory landscape, the solution provides real-time visibility, automated remediation, audit-ready reports, and one-click compliance documentation fully integrated with Bitdefender endpoint security and risk analytics. 'GravityZone Compliance Manager performed well for us during early access. The continuous monitoring and assessment feature reduced our reliance on manual scans, saving valuable time. Because it's integrated into our existing security stack, we've avoided the additional cost and complexity of using external tools. It has simplified our operations by eliminating the need for multiple point solutions,' stated Alin Paunescu, chief information security officer at Patria Bank. In recent research, Gartner recommends that organizations, 'Combine compliance and risk management effectively by prioritizing the implementation of impact-based assessments and automated, continuous monitoring capabilities.'¹ With regulations like GDPR, PCI DSS, NIS2 and DORA introducing stricter penalties, organizations can no longer afford fragmented or manual compliance approaches. The financial consequences of non-compliance are severe with fines up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover under GDPR and $100 thousand per month under PCI DSS. These penalties come in addition to significant reputational damage organizations face that often follows regulatory violations. Regulatory demands are increasing, but most organizations still rely on fragmented tools and manual processes. Designed as an add-on to Bitdefender GravityZone, the company's flagship unified security and risk analytics platform, GravityZone Compliance Manager minimizes complexity by unifying compliance, risk, and security operations in a single platform. It delivers real-time compliance scoring, automated reporting, and guided remediation, all without the need for specialized in-house expertise. Key Benefits of GravityZone Compliance Manager: • Automated Audit-Ready Reports in Seconds –Instantly generate compliance reports aligned with auditor requirements using existing Bitdefender tooling. GravityZone Compliance Manager simplifies audit preparation by automating evidence collection and removing reporting complexity. Reports are structured for auditor review and include an executive summary of the organization's overall compliance score, a breakdown of compliant versus non-compliant checks, and a risk overview detailing the severity of high, medium, and low risks. –Instantly generate compliance reports aligned with auditor requirements using existing Bitdefender tooling.

Businesses quickly identify and remediate compliance gaps with a single click and can drill down further into specific standards or benchmarks to view detailed information on associated risks and affected assets. 'The consequences of non-compliance, including financial loss, operational disruption, and reputational damage, rival those of a data breach or ransomware attack, yet most businesses lack the resources or specialized talent needed to manage compliance with confidence,' said Andrei Florescu, president and general manager of Bitdefender Business Solutions Group. 'GravityZone Compliance Manager is a game-changer that consolidates compliance, risk management, and endpoint security on a single platform, enabling businesses to meet regulatory demands effortlessly and reduce complexity to strengthen cyber resilience.' Availability Bitdefender GravityZone Compliance Manager is available now for new and existing customers.
