Case Study: Medical and Dental Insurance Company achieves 100% malware protection and major cost & time savings with Bitdefender GravityZone

Insurance provider fortifies defenses against cyberattacks

The Medical and Dental Insurance Company, a major U.S. provider of medical and dental coverage for hundreds of thousands of federal employees, faced growing cyber risk protecting PHI after its previous tools (Microsoft SCEP and Trend Micro) failed—one ransomware incident locked 80% of employees out for 13 hours. After testing solutions including Cylance and Trend Micro, the company selected Bitdefender GravityZone (upgrading to GravityZone Elite) because Bitdefender outperformed competitors in independent and in‑house tests, blocking 100% of 500 malware samples.

Bitdefender deployed GravityZone Elite across the insurer’s 1,900 virtual and physical servers, workstations, and virtual desktops, with Bitdefender Professional Services and Gold Support assisting the rollout. Bitdefender consolidated 41 virtual appliances into four central scanning servers, reduced security administration from 1.0 to 0.25 FTE, delivered centralized visibility and NIST 800‑53‑compliant device control, and reported a 100% malware‑blocking success rate while adding HyperDetect and Sandbox Analyzer to counter fileless and zero‑day threats.
