Bitdefender Is a Visionary for the Third Consecutive Time for Its Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision
Bitdefender, a global cybersecurity leader, today announced it is the only vendor named a Visionary in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP).¹ This marks the third consecutive year Bitdefender has been positioned in the Visionary Quadrant and follows the launch of Bitdefender GravityZone Proactive Hardening and Attack Surface Reduction (PHASR), the industry's first endpoint security solution to deliver tailored hardening for each individual employee based on established behavior patterns, tool usage, and application activity.
"To us, being named the only Visionary in this year's Magic Quadrant signals that the industry is ready for a more intelligent, proactive approach to security," said Daniel Daraban, vice president of products, Bitdefender Business Solutions Group. "We believe this recognition reflects our long-standing commitment to building the future of cybersecurity where security is tailored, risk is managed in real-time, and compliance is built in. With our GravityZone XDR platform and MDR services, we empower defenders to work more effectively and efficiently, because that's what really matters. We're proud to lead where others are only beginning to explore."
The 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms evaluated 15 vendors for performance across multiple criteria to determine their Completeness of Vision, including market understanding, strategies across marketing, sales, and product offerings, as well as business model, innovation, and geographic presence. Gartner also assessed each vendor's Ability to Execute based on product and service capabilities, overall viability, sales execution and pricing, customer experience, market responsiveness, and other key factors.
Bitdefender GravityZone is the company's unified security, risk analytics, and compliance platform that delivers advanced endpoint protection (EPP), endpoint detection and response (EDR), extended detection and response (XDR), and cloud-native security. GravityZone provides deep security context to detections and offers a direct path to Bitdefender Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services.
Building on this foundation, Bitdefender recently enhanced GravityZone with several new capabilities and features, including GravityZone Compliance Manager, GravityZone Extended Attack Surface Management (EASM) and GravityZone PHASR, a true industry innovation.

I would highly recommend GravityZone to fellow IT Directors and System Engineers."
