The BitDefender Integration in Timus Manager allows you to retrieve real-time endpoint security data from your BitDefender GravityZone environment. This integration enhances your Device Posture Checks under Zero Trust Security, enabling you to assess device compliance based on live security posture signals—without installing new agents or modifying endpoints.

What This Integration Enables

• Connect your GravityZone tenant to Timus Manager securely
• Fetch posture data such as malware detection, antivirus status, and disk encryption state
• Incorporate BitDefender-sourced attributes into Device Posture Checks
• Automate compliance assessments using verified endpoint telemetry

Once connected, BitDefender will appear as a selectable Data Source in posture check configurations.

Prerequisites

Before starting:

• Access to your BitDefender GravityZone Console as an administrator
• Permission to generate API keys with appropriate scopes
• Your tenant’s Management URL (e.g., https://cloud.gravityzone.bitdefender.com)
