Industry Applications
Education & Research
Educational institutions manage vast amounts of sensitive student and research data, requiring robust external security to protect against data breaches and maintain compliance with regulations like FERPA.
Government & Public Sector
Public sector organizations handle critical citizen data and infrastructure, necessitating continuous monitoring of their external attack surface to prevent cyber threats and ensure service continuity.
Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare providers must protect sensitive patient health information (PHI) and comply with HIPAA, making external attack surface visibility crucial for preventing breaches and maintaining trust.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is External Attack Surface Management (EASM)?
EASM is a cybersecurity discipline focused on discovering, monitoring, and assessing an organization's internet-facing digital assets. Its goal is to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them.
How does Bitdefender GravityZone EASM differ from internal vulnerability scanners?
Internal scanners focus on your network from the inside. EASM provides an external perspective, showing what an attacker sees when looking at your organization from the internet, including assets you may not even know exist or are exposed.
Is this product suitable for smaller educational institutions?
Yes, this cloud-based solution is designed to provide valuable external visibility and risk management capabilities for organizations of various sizes, including smaller institutions that may have limited IT resources.
