Operational Impact
Since adopting the GravityZone solution, Clay County Schools reports reliable, high-performance endpoint protection. For example, Bitdefender offloads resource-intensive security tasks to a security virtual appliance, which helps reduce impact on the VM’s performance, increase virtualization density, and improve application response times. | |
GravityZone’s machine-learning based engine proactively detects and prevents ransomware, which affected users in the past. In the case of WannaCry and Petya, Bitdefender provides automatic protection from zero day threats without requiring any updates. And it prevents viruses from infecting endpoints via external media such as USB drives, which also is a common problem. | |
In addition, more advanced features, such as GravityZone’s built-in environment-aware firewall, protect devices regardless of location. This allows IS to implement one policy when a device is on its secure internal network and another when the device travels outside of school. | |
Quantitative Benefit
Protected 11,000 endpoints across 42 school campuses. | |
Reduced security-related help desk calls dramatically. | |
Prevented a $10,000 incident caused by rogue applications. | |
