BitDefender Client Security

Companies can effectively protect their business clients from attack by using Bitdefenders ability to detect and prevent known and zero-day threats, ensure compliance to corporate security policies and manage them effectively with fewer IT resources.

Technology

Endpoint threat protection and management
Bitdefenders award-winning scan engines have been recognized by leading certification bodies, - including ICSA Labs, Virus Bulletin, and West Coast Labs - for their unmatched proactive antimalware protection. Bitdefender Client Security provides multiple levels of advanced protection;



Bitdefender Client Security uses multiple layers of technology to protect the endpoint, including;
• Antivirus In addition to signature based detection, Bitdefender provides heuristic detection that emulates a virtual computer-within-a-computer, checking all files and code for malicious behavior. This technique produces fewer false positives and significantly higher detection rates for zero-day and unknown threats.
• Antispam - Using constantly updated blacklists and whitelists of known Spam sites, Bayesian learning provides another layer of detection that adapts to the changes made by Spammers to bypass static Spam filters.
• Antispyware - Bitdefender Client Security detects and prevents known spyware and adware by using five different filtering methods to monitor the registry for modifications, file scanning, cookie control, URL filtering and content inspection to prevent outbound data leakage.
• Antiphishing - While considered more of personal threat than a corporate threat; phishing sites can also harvesting information from your companys employees. Using a combination of constantly updated blacklists and whitelists, Bitdefender prevents users from known accessing phishing sites and preventing compromise.
• Content Filtering - Content filtering allows for the detection of predefined information such as credit card or account information, report names, client databases, etc. from passing outside the companys control.
• Firewall - When users roam or work remotely using unsecured wireless networks, they are no longer protected by the companys perimeter firewall. Granular settings such as Internet blocking and access by IP address, application, port or protocol allows flexible configuration options while maintaining maximum security against inbound and outbound threats.
