That is worth correcting, because what Mythos reveals is not primarily a story about AI finding vulnerabilities. It is a story about why trusting software is no longer a viable strategy, and what the architectural response should be.

Another challenge involves overlooking newly released features that must be manually enabled in endpoint configurations. While the default settings in Bitdefender GravityZone are an excellent starting point, securing your unique environment requires configurations tailored to your specific operations.

Respond after it runs, and you increase the odds of business disruption and costly remediation. Security solutions vary significantly in their ability to block threats pre-execution, and the latest AV-Comparatives Enterprise Advanced Threat Protection test quantifies this gap in stark terms: Bitdefender blocked 87% of threats at the pre-execution stage, while other vendors blocked just 36% of attacks pre-execution, on average.

It will continue to offer Extended Security Updates (ESU) temporarily for Windows 10 version 22H2, but that support will eventually expire as well, and can be expensive to maintain. 
This decision by Microsoft is significant because 40%-45% of Windows users globally still regularly use Windows 10. From a cybersecurity perspective, this poses a significant risk. By ending support for the OS, Microsoft will no longer provide key updates to close vulnerabilities and fix bugs in Windows 10. This creates an enticing target for threat actors who are always on the lookout for the lowest-hanging fruit.

The AV-Comparatives EPR Comparative Report 2025 settles the debate. By measuring both, it reveals that prevention-first is the winning strategy—stronger, simpler, and more cost-effective. Bitdefender GravityZone didn’t just participate in the evaluation; it led across the board. 
Bitdefender achieved the highest detection rate among all participating vendors and the lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), underscoring a commitment to both security efficacy and operational efficiency. The evaluation also proves that modern security means blocking threats before they disrupt business.

Bitdefender’s 2025 Cybersecurity Assessment Report provides a timely, data-focused snapshot of the current state of cybersecurity. Two data sources drive the findings: an independent survey of more than 1,200 IT and security professionals across the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Italy, and Singapore; and a Bitdefender Labs analysis of 700,000 cyber incidents. This year, the third annual report reveals critical truths behind today’s evolving risks, internal challenges, and operational blind spots.
