Bitdefender, the world’s first global cybersecurity solution provider, is proud to announce the launch of its Internal Attack Surface Assessment, a complimentary service aimed at helping organizations detect and mitigate potential internal threats caused by excessive user privileges and the deployment of tools often used by cyber attackers in modern cybercrime schemes.
The newly launched assessment enables organizations to gain valuable insights into their internal attack surfaces through data-driven analysis.
Combating “Living-Off-the-Land” Tactics
The new threat environment is increasingly characterized by “Living-Off-the-Land” (LOTL) and fileless attacks. Such attacks circumvent traditional security measures because they use system tools and applications to masquerade as legitimate network behavior.
Legitimate tools and “Living-Off-the-Land” are used in over 84% of significant cyberattacks, as confirmed by an analysis of over 700,000 actual security incidents. Hackers often use system tools such as PowerShell and WMIC to gain privileged access and move laterally through a network undetected. As a result, organizations are moving towards a prevention-focused approach to eliminate these invisible threat vectors.

A Guided Path to Proactive Hardening
The Bitdefender Internal Attack Surface Assessment is an expertly structured engagement that reveals internal risks in a subtle way, which doesn’t harm the normal working process. Bitdefender GravityZone PHASR (Proactive Hardening and Attack Surface Reduction) is a state of the art endpoint security technology that couples behavior-based hardening and real-time threat intelligence, and is the driving force behind this program.
“We are offering the Bitdefender Internal Attack Surface at no cost to help level the playing field, enabling organizations to identify and close critical security gaps,” the company stated.
The major advantages of this process are:
• User-Level Risk Quantification : It provides detailed visibility into user exposure, correlating application access with baseline behavior.
• Shadow IT Detection: It detects unauthorized tools, non-approved binaries, and unknown applications that seek access to corporate resources.
• Actionable Remediation: It provides recommendations to strengthen the internal environment, which has the possibility of reducing the attack surface by up to 95%.
“Cybercriminals are increasingly exploiting legitimate applications and system tools to bypass traditional defenses, creating a growing and often invisible attack surface that is difficult to defend,” said Andrei Florescu, president and general manager at Bitdefender Business Solutions Group. “The Bitdefender Internal Attack Surface Assessment gives organizations a clear, data-driven view of these risks and a path to remediation. We are offering it at no cost to help level the playing field, enabling organizations to identify and close critical gaps in their internal attack surface as adversaries rapidly shift tactics.”
