Case Study: Patria Bank achieves APT protection, GDPR compliance, and 33% faster incident response with Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra

Patria Bank foils cybercrime group with latest security techniques

Patria Bank, a regional Romanian bank, faced targeted attacks from the Cobalt Group and needed stronger defenses and GDPR-compliant controls after an initial intrusion on a decommissioned server. After evaluating options, Patria Bank selected Bitdefender’s GravityZone Ultra for its advanced, automated endpoint detection and response and cloud-based visibility.

Bitdefender deployed GravityZone Ultra across 1,100 Windows desktops, laptops, servers and virtual hosts, with Bitdefender Professional Services handling installation and Premium Support. The solution thwarted advanced persistent threats, helped Patria Bank meet EU GDPR requirements, and cut incident response and resolution time from 12 to 8 hours per week—a 33% improvement—while enabling investigations to be completed about 33% faster.
