Bitdefender GravityZone Security for Storage
Secure Shared Storage Systems

Product Overview

Digital transformation and expanding collaboration in the workplace have placed growing demands on shared storage systems. At the same time, increasingly sophisticated and prolific cyberthreats have necessitated reliable storage security—for example, to prevent infected files from spreading across the organization and beyond. GravityZone Security for Storage delivers bestin-class, real-time protection for leading file-sharing and network-storage systems.

When a user requests to open, read, write, or close a file from a laptop, workstation, mobile, or other device, the ICAP client (a NAS or file-sharing system) determines, based on policy, whether the file requires anti-malware scanning. If a scan is needed, the ICAP client sends the request to the SVA, which analyses the file and returns a verdict to the storage system. Depending on configuration, the SVA can also take policy-driven action, such as disinfecting a file deemed malicious. If the file is clean or disinfected, the storage system allows the user to access it. If the file is unsafe, access is prohibited.

Highlights:

Unlimited scalability means GravityZone’s web-scale, modular architecture lets you add a virtually unlimited number of ICAP servers on demand to support the increasing number of scan requests as your organization’s workforce and data grow.
• GravityZone Security for Storage leverages Bitdefender’s award-winning security technology to provide multiple layers of defense (including machine learning, heuristics, signatures, and cloud lookup) against known and unknown file-based infections that may be part of zero-day or advanced attacks.
• Administer Security for Storage from the same central console as other GravityZone solutions; it’s fast to deploy and easy to manage. Security for Storage is also highly configurable, so you can quickly define policies and exclusions, set up default actions, create custom reports, and trigger real-time notifications to match your organization’s requirements.
