Case Study: Universidad Politécnica de Madrid achieves 3-4x security performance boost and streamlined compliance with Bitdefender

Enduring cybersecurity posture at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid

Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), Spain’s largest technical university, needed to maintain strong, scalable cybersecurity as threats evolved and national regulations tightened. After 13 years of working with Bitdefender, UPM selected Bitdefender GravityZone to ensure enterprise-wide protection while simplifying management and compliance.

UPM deployed Bitdefender GravityZone across about 2,000 endpoints (Windows, macOS and Linux), gaining a 3–4x improvement in security performance, dramatically fewer false positives and user complaints, and zero major incidents since deployment. Bitdefender also cut administrative overhead—UPM spends about two hours weekly managing security—and reduced user trouble inquiries to just 5–7 per year, while helping the university meet evolving national cybersecurity standards.
