Case Study: Quilvest (Switzerland) achieves advanced cyberthreat protection and a 7% infrastructure performance boost with Bitdefender

Quilvest (Switzerland) Ltd. further safeguards financial data against advanced cyberthreats

Quilvest (Switzerland) Ltd., a Zurich-based wealth manager, needed stronger protection for client financial data as it virtualized its infrastructure (Hyper-V, XenServer, VMware) because its existing Trend Micro solution was causing performance issues and struggled with advanced threats. After a proof of concept that also evaluated Kaspersky and McAfee, Quilvest selected Bitdefender—citing its superior detection of zero-day attacks, low false positives, minimal resource use, and unique hypervisor-level memory introspection.

Quilvest deployed Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security and Bitdefender Hypervisor Introspection (HVI), adding an agentless hypervisor-layer defense and centralized next‑generation endpoint protection. The Bitdefender deployment strengthened defenses against advanced attacks and aided FINMA compliance while improving infrastructure efficiency—about a 7% jump in hardware speed, a 10% drop in security trouble tickets, delayed hardware purchases, easier single-console management, and savings from CPU-core licensing.
