Case Study: HAN University of Applied Sciences achieves 100% threat detection and improved system performance with Bitdefender GravityZone

HAN University of Applied Sciences - Customer Case Study

HAN University of Applied Sciences (HAN) was struggling with missed infections, frequent downtime and poor performance under its previous McAfee security stack—updates disabled workstations, scans caused sluggishness, and security administration consumed significant IT time. After evaluating vendors, HAN selected Bitdefender’s GravityZone (GravityZone Elite) to address advanced threats like file‑less and zero‑day attacks and simplify management across physical and virtual environments.

Bitdefender deployed GravityZone Elite (with an on‑premises management console and VMware vCenter integration), protecting 1,900 Windows laptops and a VMware estate of 1,350 non‑persistent virtual desktops and virtual servers. Bitdefender’s solution achieved 100% detection/blocking (up from ~90%), eliminated monthly security‑related trouble requests, cut weekly security management to about two hours, improved workstation and VDI performance, and reduced provisioning time from hours to minutes.
