The Growing Cyber Threat Landscape

Cybercriminals are evolving their tactics daily, using sophisticated malware, ransomware, and zero-day exploits to infiltrate businesses. While Bitdefender Core Security offers strong baseline protection, it may not be enough to defend against targeted attacks and stealthy threats. This is why businesses using Core Security should consider upgrading to Bitdefender Advanced Threat Security (ATS).

ATS enhances your security posture with proactive threat detection, behavior-based analysis, and real-time attack monitoring, ensuring that no advanced attack goes unnoticed.

How Modern Threats Bypass Standard Endpoint Security

Fileless Attacks and Memory Exploits

Traditional security solutions focus on known malware signatures. However, fileless malware operates within system memory, making it invisible to signature-based detection. ATS detects and stops fileless attacks by monitoring abnormal process behaviors in real-time.

Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs)

APTs are stealthy attacks that infiltrate a network, gather intelligence, and exfiltrate data over extended periods. They can bypass conventional endpoint security. ATS uses HyperDetect™ and behavioral analysis to identify these threats before they compromise sensitive information.

Ransomware Evolution

Ransomware groups are adopting new evasion techniques, encrypting files instantly after infection. ATS proactively detects ransomware-like behaviors and stops encryption attempts before they impact business operations.

Key Features of Bitdefender Advanced Threat Security (ATS)

ATS works in conjunction with Core Security to offer superior threat defense mechanisms. Here’s how:

1. HyperDetect™: Pre-Execution Attack Prevention

• Detects sophisticated malware, exploits, and script-based threats before execution.
• Uses advanced heuristics and machine learning to stop threats that evade signature-based detection.
• Specifically designed to identify and block APTs and ransomware before they launch.

2. Sandbox Analyzer: Deep Threat Analysis

• Suspicious files are automatically sent to a cloud-based isolated environment.
• The sandbox executes the file, analyzing its behavior for hidden threats.
• If malicious activity is detected, the file is blocked before reaching endpoints.

3. Process Inspector: Runtime Threat Monitoring

• Continuously monitors all running processes on endpoints.
• Detects anomalies in real-time, even if the attack bypasses traditional security layers.
• Stops fileless malware, in-memory attacks, and other evasive threats before they spread.

4. Network Attack Defense

• Blocks exploits targeting vulnerabilities in applications, browsers, and network protocols.
• Prevents lateral movement, stopping attackers from escalating their privileges inside the network.
• Works alongside endpoint security to provide a multi-layered defense.

The Business Impact of Not Using ATS

Financial Loss and Downtime

Cyberattacks result in significant financial losses, operational downtime, and reputational damage. Without ATS, businesses are vulnerable to threats that evade Core Security, leading to costly incidents.

Compliance and Data Protection Risks

Industries dealing with regulated data (finance, healthcare, retail, and government sectors) are prime targets for cybercriminals. ATS helps businesses comply with security frameworks like GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS by providing advanced threat protection.

Reputation and Customer Trust

A security breach can severely impact customer trust. Businesses that prioritize cybersecurity with advanced threat defense stand out as more reliable and trusted partners.
