Bitdefender SVE: Defeat Threats, Drive Performance
Security for Virtualized Environments (SVE) is the Bitdefender platform-neutral anti-malware solution designed specifically for complex datacenters. Powered by patent-pending technologies, SVE delivers resource-saving security across any number of virtualized desktops and servers running Windows or Linux. SVE centralizes the scanning and updates at a dedicated Security Virtual Appliance. This technology treats the entire virtualized estate as a whole, rather than protecting each virtual machine individually.
Delivered within a virtualized container, the solution is simple to roll-out and configure via Bitdefender GravityZone. GravityZone is the centralized management platform for virtualized, physical, and mobile devices. Bitdefender Tools, the lightweight in-guest component, ensures in-depth protection that encompasses process and memory introspection.
In VMware ESXi environments, SVE integrates directly with vShield Endpoint to deliver agentless protection. The solution extends far beyond vShield coverage because it is not dependent on the underlying hypervisor. Security for Virtualized Environments is the only hypervisor-agnostic solution for any available virtualization platform, from Citrix Xen, to Microsoft Hyper-V, Red Hat KVM or Oracle VM.
This groundbreaking approach drives a number of operational advantages that include:
- De-duplication of critical resources and I/O activity on the physical host
- Increased consolidation ratios by up to 30% on each physical server
- Improved performance with a minimal security footprint on each virtual machine
- Lower operational expenditures through higher automation and scalability with GravityZone Control Center
- Reduced administrative overhead through integration with VMware vCenter, Citrix XenServer and Amazon EC2 through Amazon Web Services
By offloading anti-malware processes from the protected guest system, the Bitdefender solution eliminates AV storms and other contention scenarios associated with the use of traditional anti-malware in virtualized environments.
In-depth Security. Integrated Control.
Bitdefender GravityZone provides organizations with a massively scalable security management platform that spans across virtualized, physical, and mobile endpoints. Built from the ground-up for heterogeneous environments, GravityZone is more than a centralized management platform: it unifies physical, virtualized, and mobile security services within a single virtualized container that is simply imported to operate with the hypervisor of your choice.
Organizations have the flexibility to deploy any or all of the three security modules within GravityZone: Security for Virtualized Environments, Security for Endpoints, and Security for Mobile Devices. Each of the three security services is licensed separately as needed.
Security for Virtualized Environments (SVE) protects file systems, processes, and memory on virtualized desktop and servers running Windows or Linux systems. SVE leverages the pooled nature of virtualization by implementing low-impact security with minimal resource footprint. Integrated with third party management platforms like VMware vCenter, Citrix XenServer and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), SVE replicates the virtual machine inventory into a unified interface that provides complete visibility and control over the entire infrastructure.
Security for Endpoints provides an alternative to legacy antimalware systems by combining industry-acclaimed antimalware technologies from Bitdefender with state-of-the-art architecture and a powerful command center. Easy to deploy and manage centrally from the GravityZone Control Center, the solution incorporates real-time heuristics and advanced detection technologies, which classify malicious processes based on their behavior.
Security for Mobile Devices introduces a holistic approach to mobile security that helps organizations maintain compliance while minimizing IT intervention and effort. Combining straightforward administrative toolkits with industry-proven mobile security, Bitdefender Security for Mobile Devices provides you the tools to extend security policies with ease to any number of iOS and Android devices.
With Bitdefender GravityZone, organizations take advantage of a wide variety of benefits that streamline IT operations and drive significant cost savings for businesses of all sizes:
- Accelerated deployment using the GravityZone virtual appliance
- Massive scalability, from the smallest to the largest installation with ease
- Considerable performance gains through low-impact security footprint
- Integration with Microsoft Active Directory, VMware vCenter, and Citrix XenServer
- Unified management that eliminates point solutions and reduces administrative efforts
- Complete control over the physical, virtualized, and mobile endpoints across an estate and from a single console
Security-as-a-Service for AWS
Bitdefender helps Amazon Web Services customers save on security-dedicated costs in the cloud by providing largely-scalable anti-malware billed by the hour. Security-as-a-Service for AWS has been purpose-built to deliver high-performance protection on Windows and Linux EC2 instances running in the Amazon cloud.
Bitdefender Security-as-a-Service for AWS employs patent-pending caching mechanisms and whitelisting of common operating system files and applications, which improve the scanning performance of virtual machines. The solution delivers the best defense via unique remote scan protection services, centralized management, reporting and configuration. Tight integration with Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) web services provides a unified view of the security status across all supported AWS region, enabling simplified deployment and administration. Protection can be automatically rolled out within the cloud by means of preset Amazon tags, which drastically reduce the implementation effort compared to legacy endpoint solutions.
Bitdefender Security as a Service for AWS
Security HOW you want it, WHEN you need it
In Amazon, like in any public cloud environment, low-impact security combined with streamlined administration translate into immediate cost savings for the Amazon Web Services customers. Utility-based licensing adds up further flexibility, allowing you to only pay for what you use and to implement security how you want it, when you need it.
- Purpose-built protection: Defends file systems, processes and memory on Windows and Linux with minimal impact on the virtual machines due to lightweight anti-malware footprint.
- High scalability: Scales on demand to accommodate growing business needs and eliminates the administrative overhead with automatic deployment and extensive reporting.
- Flexible licensing model: Provides pay-as-you-grow security services, billed by the hour at the end of the month.
