Top protection, lowest TCO
In the AV-Comparatives 2025 Endpoint Prevention and Response test Bitdefender achieved top breach prevention at the lowest total cost of ownership, and was the only vendor to block 100% of attacks in the first stage.
GravityZone Platform
Extended Detection and Response, across your whole estate
GravityZone XDR connects the security signals your tools produce separately - endpoints, identities, network, cloud and SaaS applications - into one incident, explained in plain language, with the response a click away.

Native XDR sensors
Six places an attack shows itself, one incident
Each sensor is built by Bitdefender, not bolted on through a third-party integration. Turn one on and its signals join the same correlation engine, the same incident graph and the same response framework.
Endpoint Detection and Response
The detection layer everything else builds on
GravityZone EDR delivers actionable detections with minimal noise, correlates activity across every endpoint rather than one machine at a time, and carries threat hunting and response automation. It is included in Business Security Enterprise, which is the licence XDR extends.
Included
In Business Security Enterprise
- Cross-endpoint correlation
- One incident spanning every affected machine, not an alert per device
- Threat hunting
- Query historical endpoint activity for indicators you have just learned about
- Response automation
- Isolate a device, kill a process or roll back changes from the incident view
How an incident is built
From scattered signals to a decision you can make
The work an analyst would otherwise do by hand - collecting evidence, joining it up, working out what started it - happens before anyone opens the console.
- 1
Signals are collected
Every enabled sensor streams its events into the platform: endpoint activity, directory changes, network flows, cloud control-plane calls, mailbox and application events.
Continuous
- 2
Correlated automatically
A central correlation engine uses machine learning to identify the relationships between affected systems, objects and events across all of those sources, and triages what it finds.
No rules to write
- 3
Explained in plain language
The incident arrives as a human-readable synopsis with an interactive graph of the full attack chain, its root cause and the organisational impact - readable whatever your team's experience level.
Incident Advisor
- 4
Responded to in one click
Recommended response actions come with the incident and run across endpoint and non-endpoint controls - isolate, kill, suspend, delete - so containment does not wait on a second tool.

Why Bitdefender XDR
Native sensors, not a console over other people's alerts
Most XDR products aggregate what other tools report. Bitdefender builds the sensors, which is why there is nothing to integrate and why the detections arrive with context already attached.
Top-ranked protection and detection
Bitdefender ranks first more often than any other vendor in the leading independent prevention and detection tests, and the native XDR delivers higher detection fidelity with less noise to work through.
Automated and human-readable
Threat signals beyond the endpoint are correlated automatically and presented as an intuitive incident graph with a written attack synopsis and guided response, rather than a queue of raw alerts.
Value out of the box
The sensors are built in-house, so there are no custom integrations to commission and no detection rules to author and maintain before the product starts earning its keep.
Usable by the team you actually have
Each incident explains itself, so a small IT team gets the same picture a dedicated security analyst would - which is the difference between owning XDR and using it.
Independent evaluations
Judged by the people who publish their methodology
Every claim below is a published result from an independent test lab or analyst firm, with the year it was awarded.
“The GravityZone XDR offering prioritizes analyst experience with the cleanest and most visually exceptional process tree of the vendors in this evaluation.”
High visibility, minimal noise
In the MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK Evaluations Bitdefender achieved 100% analytical coverage for both Linux and macOS with zero false positives, and has reached the highest level of detection for all major steps three years running.
Best Protection and Best Performance
GravityZone Endpoint Security received the AV-TEST Award 2023 for both Best Protection and Best Performance in the business users category - the detection layer XDR is built on.
Strong Performer, XDR platforms
Named a Strong Performer in The Forrester Wave for Extended Detection and Response Platforms, Q2 2024 - the evaluation the quote above is taken from.
A Customers' Choice for endpoint protection
Named a Customers' Choice in the 2026 Gartner Peer Insights Voice of the Customer for Endpoint Protection Platforms - a rating built from verified end-user reviews rather than analyst opinion. Gartner Peer Insights content consists of the opinions of individual end users and is not a statement of fact.

Where XDR fits
XDR extends a licence you may already hold
GravityZone XDR is not a standalone product. It combines Business Security Enterprise with a separately purchased add-on for each sensor category you want - Network, Identity, Cloud or Productivity Applications.
