Bring Every Signal Into Focus With GravityZone Security Data Lake

Written by Kevin Gee | Nov 05, 2025

Security teams aren’t short on tools—they’re short on clarity. Logs live in silos where organizations struggle to tie them all together. Ingestion and hot-tier storage get expensive fast, and “archive-and-forget” models make investigations and audits harder than they should be. That’s the status quo we’re changing. 

With Bitdefender GravityZone Security Data Lake, you get a modern SIEM experience with an embedded data lake, enabling you to unify telemetry data, control costs with smart retention, and give Bitdefender MDR even more context to investigate faster and respond with confidence. 

Why a Security Data Lake Matters 

Complete Visibility 

With the new Security Data Lake, you can bring endpoint, network, cloud, identity, SaaS, and other vendor logs into one place, where they’re normalized and correlated for a single, usable view of risk and activity. For MDR customers, our SOC analysts benefit from added third-party telemetry to get additional context into cases, deepen investigations, and surface what matters sooner.  

What this unlocks: 

  • Cross-vendor correlation that catches multi-stage attacks that single tools miss
  • Context-rich investigations in MDR, informed by your wider environment

Faster Detection, Smarter Response 

GravityZone Security Data Lake powers risk-based prioritization and anomaly-aware analytics, so analysts (yours and ours) focus on high-impact work, not noise. In MDR, we combine correlated events with curated detections to sharpen hunts, accelerate triage, and reduce dwell time. 

What this unlocks: 

  • Higher-fidelity alerts and fewer dead ends
  • Deeper MDR investigations that move faster with richer context

Lower SIEM TCO 

Traditional SIEMs force trade-offs: keep data searchable (pay more) or archive it (lose agility). GravityZone Security Data Lake uses tiered retention with instant recall, so you keep more data for longer, search when you need to, and avoid ballooning hot-tier costs. Automated log management and selective retrieval streamline audits and historic investigations—minus the bill shock. 

What this unlocks: 

  • Retain the telemetry you need for investigations and compliance, access it instantly, and pay less to do it
  • Consolidate tools and storage workflows to reduce overhead and operational drag

Compliance That Doesn’t Slow You Down 

Meet retention and reporting requirements with automated log management, flexible retention, real-time search, and archiving all in one place. Keep years of audit-ready data in a cost-efficient format and retrieve what you need in seconds for investigations and audits. 

What this unlocks:

  • Less time gathering evidence, more time closing cases
  • Centralized access to historical logs for faster root-cause and incident review 

Built Into the Bitdefender Platform You Already Trust 

GravityZone Security Data Lake extends the unified Bitdefender platform, pairing top-ranked protection with expert-led MDR to cover the entire attack surface from endpoint to cloud and everything in between. You get proven technology, integrated analytics, and services designed to reduce noise and raise confidence. 

Take the next step
