Daniel Crofts, Group Infrastructure Senior Engineer, Creditsafe Group who ran his own evaluation said: "We were impressed with the accuracy of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite's protection. We tested several EPP and next-gen AV solutions against thousands of malicious samples, and Bitdefender was consistently a top performer. The tunable protection, the small footprint, and the speed of policy changes all ensure an improved security posture of our endpoints. This all adds up to a superior solution to our previous one, making it a simple decision to switch to Bitdefender."

For the AV-Comparatives tests, Bitdefender GravityZone Elite Security was tested against eight endpoint security solution from Symantec, McAfee, Sophos, SentinelOne, Cylance, CrowdStrike, Kaspersky Lab and Carbon Black. The test measured each product's individual performance against highly elusive attacks. The test scenarios included fileless malware, exploits, command-line attacks, PowerShell-based attacks, malicious emails, and brand-new malware and ransomware samples. In each of the tests, Bitdefender GravityZone Elite Security placed on top in comparison to other endpoint security vendor tested.

"Targeted threats and fileless attacks are a serious concern for the business world, and these tests simulate the challenges security solutions face in real-life scenarios. We are pleased to see that Bitdefender GravityZone Elite performed strongly in this advanced series of tests," said Andreas Clementi, founder and CEO of AV-Comparatives.
