Best Practices for Using Bitdefender

Integrate with SIEM

For businesses, integrating Bitdefender with a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system can enhance your security posture. A SIEM system collects and analyzes security-related events from various sources within your IT environment, helping you detect suspicious activities and respond to incidents.

When integrated with a SIEM system, Bitdefender can provide input for the analysis. This integration can also streamline incident response, as Bitdefender can take automated actions based on the SIEM system’s findings, such as isolating infected systems.

Enable Active Threat Control

One of the most noteworthy features of Bitdefender is the Active Threat Control. This feature is designed to detect and eliminate threats in real-time. Active Threat Control uses heuristic methods to identify signs of malicious activities. Ensure Active Threat Control is always turned on, and regularly check the logs to identify any potential threats that have been blocked.

Use Multi-Cloud Protection

Bitdefender’s Multi-cloud Protection offers security solutions for all your cloud-based data. It provides protection for your data across various cloud platforms, including Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure.

To optimize the use of Multi-cloud Protection, configure the security settings based on your needs. Regularly monitor your cloud environment for any potential threats. Additionally, ensure that all your cloud-based software and applications are up-to-date to prevent any potential exploits.

Use Policy Configuration

Bitdefender’s Policy Configuration is a feature that allows you to customize how Bitdefender works on your system. You can define specific rules and settings that Bitdefender must follow, tailoring the software to fit your security needs and preferences.

The policy configuration feature can be useful in a corporate environment, where different systems might require different security settings. To make the most of this feature, spend some time understanding the different settings and how they impact your security. Overly restrictive policies might provide better protection, but they might also interfere with productivity.

Endpoint Security Management with Cynet

Cynet 360 is a holistic security solution that protects against threats to endpoint security and across your network. Cynet provides tools you can use to centrally manage endpoint security across the enterprise.

Cynet’s intelligent technologies can help you detect attacks by correlating information from endpoints, network analytics and behavioral analytics with almost no false positives. 

With Cynet, you can proactively monitor entire internal environments, including endpoints, network, files, and hosts. This can help you reduce attack surfaces and the likelihood of multiple attacks. 

Cynet 360 provides cutting edge EDR capabilities:

• Advanced endpoint threat detection—full visibility and predicts how an attacker might operate, based on continuous monitoring of endpoints and behavioral analysis.
• Investigation and validation—search and review historic or current incident data on endpoints, investigate threats, and validate alerts. This allows you to confirm the threat before responding to it, reducing dwell-time and performing faster remediation.
• Rapid deployment and response—deploy across thousands of endpoints within two hours. You can then use it to perform automatic or manual remediation of threats on the endpoints, disrupt malicious activity and minimize damage caused by attacks.

In addition, Cynet 360 provides the following endpoint protection capabilities:

• NGAV—providing automated prevention and termination of malware, exploits, Macros, LOLBins, and malicious scripts with machine learning based analysis.
• User Behavioral Analytics (UBA)—detecting and preventing attacks using compromised credentials through the use of behavioral baselines and signatures.
• Deception technology—planting fake credentials, files and connections to lure and trap attackers, mitigating damage and providing the opportunity to learn from attacker activity.
• Monitoring and control—providing asset management, vulnerability assessments and application control with continuous monitoring and log collection.
• Response orchestration—providing manual and automated remediation for files, users, hosts and networks customized with user-created scripts.
