Case Study: Léopold Bellan Foundation achieves enterprise-wide data protection, simplified administration and €300,000 annual savings with Bitdefender

The Foundation treats data risks with enterprise-wide cybersecurity

The Léopold Bellan Foundation, a Paris-based medical and social services provider operating 68 facilities, faced growing risk from a decentralized security approach and a mix of endpoint solutions that caused performance slowdowns, false positives, and misconfigurations. After centralizing IT and evaluating multiple vendors, the Foundation selected Bitdefender and its GravityZone Advanced Business Security to standardize and simplify protection across sites.

Bitdefender deployed GravityZone across 1,400 Windows workstations, Linux servers and VMware virtual servers, managed from a single console with machine learning, behavioral analysis, anti‑exploit and risk‑assessment capabilities. The Foundation eliminated virtual server slowdowns, avoided data loss, improved timely delivery of medical data, achieved a 10:1 reduction in false positives, cut security administration from three staff to one, and realized annual cost savings of 300,000 euros.
