Operational Impact
In the two years preceding Coleg Gwent’s installation of GravityZone, there were eight ransomware attacks, as well as weekly infections that would disable a small number of endpoints. | |
GravityZone also has changed the nature of security administration work at Coleg Gwent, explains Gower-Fox. “Since we have decreased time spent rebuilding and reimaging infected endpoints, I now am more available to investigate potential phishes and other threats. Bitdefender has been such a leap forward because we now have a trustworthy layer in our security onion.” | |
The previous endpoint performance issues have disappeared, reports Gower-Fox: “We used to get calls from users who reported their desktops would lock up when security scanning was in progress. It got even worse when we virtualized because multiple virtual machines were competing for resources on the same virtual host. GravityZone took the load off the virtual machines with its small footprint. In fact, I’m not aware of anyone’s endpoint locking up due to GravityZone.” | |
Quantitative Benefit
Eight ransomware attacks in two years dropped to zero in six years | |
Decreased time spent on cleaning and rebuilding infected endpoints | |
Streamlined scalability and installation facilitates work-from-home transition | |
