Bitdefender, a global cybersecurity leader, unveiled Bitdefender GravityZone Proactive Hardening and Attack Surface Reduction (PHASR), a groundbreaking technology that transforms how defense-in-depth-security is applied and managed across businesses. GravityZone PHASR analyzes individual user behavior such as application use, resource privileges, and others, clustering users into groups with similar patterns. This approach ensures security policies and controls are mapped precisely to user intended privileges and behaviors, dynamically adjusting as the attack surface evolves.
Security teams struggle to keep pace as attacks become more advanced and frequent. This challenge is amplified by current security models and industry focus that over rely on reactive detection and response and a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to expanding attack surfaces, exposure management, and endpoint security solutions.
According to Gartner®, “by 2028, investments in proactive technologies that improve visibility and reduce exposure will grow twice as fast as investments in reactive technologies that detect and respond to incidents.”¹

GravityZone PHASR is a pioneering security technology integrated into Bitdefender GravityZone, the company’s flagship unified security and risk analytics platform. It is built on years of advanced machine learning (ML) models applied to individual users, groups, applications, and endpoints within Bitdefender GravityZone XDR. It applies proprietary AI algorithms to establish behavioral norms across groups addressing critical areas such as data access rights, application usage, and security permissions resulting in a comprehensive assessment of vulnerabilities and potential attack vectors impacting the business.
GravityZone PHASR enables security teams to anticipate and quickly mitigate emerging risks before they escalate and seamlessly adapts as threats and user roles evolve to ensure security measures always remain aligned with business objectives. For example, if a user’s responsibilities change or a new attack technique emerges, GravityZone PHASR automatically suggests policy adjustments to maintain protection. This proactive approach empowers organizations to dramatically reduce fluctuating attack surfaces.
