The latest [Forrester WAVE for EDR report](https://businessresources.bitdefender.com/forrester-wave-endpoint-detection-and-response-report-2020?hsLang=en-us) is out, and we’re proud to have been named a Wave Strong Performer in EDR, a privileged spot in the Strong Performers group. This is further confirmation of Bitdefender’s leadership position in the EDR space, after the recent [100% APT detection score](https://businessinsights.bitdefender.com/kick-off-2020-securely-with-gravityzone?hsLang=en-us) from AV-Comparatives, and the just-announced [Best Protection Award](https://www.av-test.org/en/news/av-test-award-2019-for-bitdefender/) from AV-TEST.   ## **Security analytics, incident response, performance and management, united in a top-of-the-line product**   This is Bitdefender’s debut in Forrester’s EDR WAVE, and the prestigious analysis firm has already nominated our EDR solution as a key offering in the security space. Performance, security analytics, incident response and simplified management capabilities are key reasons for Forrester placing Bitdefender in a privileged spot in the Strong Performers group.  ![Forrester Ware EDR report Q1 2020 - top detection and response vendors](https://businessinsights.bitdefender.com/hs-fs/hubfs/forrester-wave-mini.png?width=744&name=forrester-wave-mini.png) “Bitdefender is democratizing advanced security technologies by focusing on the prevention of early kill chain events and the delivery of automated remediation post-execution,” Forrester writes in its evaluation. “This strategy, delivered through direct, OEM, and managed service channels, makes Bitdefender one of the biggest EDR vendors.”   For more than 18 years, [Bitdefender](https://www.bitdefender.com/business/) has led the pack in detection technologies. Our security is integrated in more than 38% of competing business products around the world, but the management capabilities in [Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra](https://www.bitdefender.com/business/enterprise-products/ultra-security.html) have been equally acclaimed in this report.   Outside the analyst space, Bitdefender’s offering remains highly regarded by leading independent testing labs firms too. Both AV-Test and AV-Comparatives have recently ranked Bitdefender at the top of their most prestigious testing. AV-Test just named the Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra solution as the winner of its Best Protection Award for its performance in testing throughout 2019.   AV-Comparatives confirmed the same performance three months ago, when Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra scored 100% in its inaugural advanced attack test. ![AV Tets - Best Protection Award for Endpoint Security (Ultra)](https://businessinsights.bitdefender.com/hs-fs/hubfs/av-test.png?width=156&name=av-test.png)  ![AC Comparatives - Certefied ATP Enterprise](https://businessinsights.bitdefender.com/hs-fs/hubfs/av-comp.png?width=162&name=av-comp.png)   ## **A product that customers (and analysts) love**   Bitdefender’s industry-wide leadership in terms of quality is appreciated not only by sector analysts, but also by customers.   “GravityZone Ultra is the next step in security protection,” said Lance Harris, Chief Information Security Officer, Esurance. “EDR makes detection more accurate and provides solid background on what’s happening at the endpoint. This helps us decide how to respond— whether we quarantine, lock down, or delete files.”   Read more about our case study with [Esurance](https://download.bitdefender.com/resources/files/News/CaseStudies/study/205/Bitdefender-Business-CaseStudy-Esurance-creatent156-A4-en-EN-GenericUse.pdf).   ## **Don’t take our word for granted, give it a try**   Stay safe from day-to-day malware and other emerging cyberthreats with an end-to-end breach avoidance solution, incorporating hardening, prevention, detection and response under a single agent, single platform. [Request a demo](https://www.bitdefender.com/business/enterprise-products/ultra-plus.html?cid=blog|b|hubspot|forrester2020) of Bitdefender GravityZone™ Ultra Plus today. ![Download forester new wave report for edr](https://businessinsights.bitdefender.com/hs-fs/hubfs/edr-forrester.jpg?width=1200&name=edr-forrester.jpg)   ### Explore More Topics -
