Bitdefender Offers Free Internal Attack Surface Assessment to Combat Rising Cyber Risks
Event summary
- Bitdefender launched a complimentary Internal Attack Surface Assessment to help organizations identify and reduce hidden internal cyber risks.
- The assessment focuses on reducing risks from unnecessary user access to applications and tools commonly exploited in modern attacks.
- Analysis of 700,000 security incidents found that 84% of major attacks involve legitimate tools and Living-Off-the-Land (LOTL) techniques.
- The assessment is powered by Bitdefender GravityZone PHASR, which combines dynamic security hardening with real-time threat intelligence.
- The program is available for organizations with 250 or more employees and runs for 45 days.
The big picture
Bitdefender's move comes as organizations struggle to defend against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats that leverage legitimate tools to evade detection. The shift towards a prevention-first security posture is critical as cybercriminals exploit widely available utilities like PowerShell and WMIC. This initiative positions Bitdefender as a leader in proactive cybersecurity solutions, addressing a growing need for internal attack surface management.
