Bitdefender GravityZone Business Security Premium Review [2023]
Cyber-attacks have become a major concern for businesses as they jeopardize their clients' data. To tackle such issues, Bitdefender launched its GravityZone Business Security, as consumer-grade security software is not strong enough to protect work PCs. Bitdefender GravityZone Business Security Premium is an elite version of GravityZone Business Security Premium. That's why it was previously known as GravityZone Elite.
Like GravityZone Business Security, it works equally well on Windows, Linux, and macOS. But it is also compatible with modern mobile platforms. It offers a comprehensive suite of protection tools to meet the security needs of small and medium-sized businesses (SBMs) and larger organizations.
User Interface & Features
GravityZone boasts a web-based Control Center user interface. The UI is light and locked down by default. When threats are detected, the interface shows some significantly helpful information. One of GravityZone's unique features is its play-by-play recounting of the attack. Control Center's dashboard lets you easily deploy and manage security across enrolled devices.
You can use it to view the health of your IT network quickly. Besides flagging risks, the dashboard can define the installer packages distributed to clients' devices. An admin can choose between Firewall, Advanced Threat Control, Content Control, and an optional Power User module to include in the installer since not all modules are always needed.
Some installation settings, such as Scan Before Installation, Uninstall Password, and Install to a Custom Path, are also available. You can easily customize the dashboard layout by rearranging the modules and adding or removing modules according to your preference. One of its coolest features is launching a scan directly from the module.
The policies page is one of the highlighting features of GravityZone. Policies let you enable granular control over website and software application access to the company's network. For example, you can enable the firewall and specify what web traffic is allowed and what devices can be plugged into the system. These policies can easily be applied depending on the network of your computer. The admins can define separate policies for employees when they connect their devices outside the office network.
Default Dashboard for Security
The default dashboard summarizes several reports. None of these reports is useless; they provide insights into security threats and incidents. Each report can be run against a single device or multiple devices defined by the IT admin. You can also control the reporting interval from a pull-down menu. You can schedule the report for "today only" or a period extending back to one full year. These reports can be emailed as a CSV, PDF, or archive file.
Sandbox Analyzer is yet another interesting tool from GravityZone's arsenal. This feature comes in handy when you are unsure about certain files. You can submit these files into the sandbox to be assessed and analyzed. The whole process happens in a safe environment so you can easily keep an eye, and when you are certain whether a file is safe or not, then only run it in the real world. This feature automatically gets launched when the GravityZone reads an unrecognized file.
Ransomware Protection For Business
Ransmore has always been a major concern in the IT space. To combat this issue, GravityZone packs some excellent features. An anti-ransomware product protects your system against ransomware in three ways. The first is never to let your system get infected. GravityZone does it through its excellent machine-learning detection and behavior-monitoring capabilities that flag and stops any suspicious program.
The second way an anti-ransomware product protects your system is by making ransomware think it has already infected it. The product does this by vaccinating your system with certain keys the malware looks for. GravityZone can do all this with a single checkbox in the policy configuration. Last but not least, an antimalware product lets you undo the changes made by the ransomware. But unfortunately, GravityZone does not have this ability.
GravityZone Busines Security Vs. Premium
The premium version of GravityZone boasts features like Mobile Security, Microsoft Exchange, Smart Centralised Scanning, and Fileless Attacks Defense. Mobile Security lets you organize and see all your corporate mobile devices. The IT admin can enforce company security policies on all mobile devices connected to a corporate network. It lets you easily locate, lock, and wipe lost devices remotely.
GravityZone's Security for Exchange provides antimalware and antispam protection for mail servers. It secures and safeguards your Microsoft Exchange environment from internal and external threats. Its Smart Centralized Scanning is specifically engineered for efficiency. It enables the user to offload scanning operations to a dedicated appliance to put less load on system resources. GravityZone Premium also provides class-leading performance across all physical and virtual endpoints. Bitdefender developed Script Attack Defense to safeguard your system against file-less and script-based attacks on Powershell and command lines.
Conclusion
There is no doubt that Bitdefender GraviyZone Business Security Premium is an excellent security suite with an excellent, well-thought-out policy management system. It easily detects threats to your system and holds up well against Windows Powershell attacks, which the traditional GravityZone Business Security cannot do.
