It combines vulnerability discovery, internet-facing asset scanning, attack-path mapping and per-user hardening, and is available now on Windows, with other systems to follow. It includes PHASR, a feature that learns how each person uses each device and limits tools like PowerShell to what that user actually needs. In a survey of 1,200 security workers, 38% cited keeping security rules and exceptions updated as their top obstacle, and 35.4% cited fear of breaking day-to-day work. The tool is sold as an add-on to Bitdefender's top business plans or standalone; pricing wasn't disclosed. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

It's a security tool that combines vulnerability discovery, internet-facing asset scanning, attack-path mapping and per-user hardening to show how attackers could chain weak spots together to reach critical systems. It launched for Windows, with other operating systems planned later, available as an add-on to Bitdefender's top business plans or as a standalone product alongside other vendors' security software. Pricing wasn't disclosed. _Teams evaluating attack-surface tools can track new security product launches like this one on daily.dev._ ### What is PHASR in Bitdefender's security tools? PHASR is a Bitdefender feature, included in GravityZone Exposure Management, that learns how each individual uses their device and then restricts tools such as PowerShell to only what that specific user needs. This targets a common attack pattern where admins require broad access to tools that hackers also abuse once they compromise an account. _Security engineers weighing least-privilege approaches can follow tools like PHASR on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [What’s New in GravityZone July 2026 \(v 6.75\)](https://daily.dev/posts/what-s-new-in-gravityzone-july-2026-v-6-75--tc904c2xb) · Security Boulevard · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [How a global investment firm reduced security surprises](https://daily.dev/posts/how-a-global-investment-firm-reduced-security-surprises-7gsklnpc8) · CSO Online · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [You Don't Have to Run an Exploit to Know If You're Vulnerable](https://daily.dev/posts/you-don-t-have-to-run-an-exploit-to-know-if-you-re-vulnerable-ejvt7otyu) · BleepingComputer · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [How AI is Rewriting the Zero-Day Playbook for Preemptive Security](https://daily.dev/posts/how-ai-is-rewriting-the-zero-day-playbook-for-preemptive-security-y5kspvubq) · Rapid7 Cybersecurity Blog · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#security](https://daily.dev/tags/security), [#powershell](https://daily.dev/tags/powershell) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/bitdefender-s-new-tool-maps-how-attackers-could-reach-critical-systems-5jdyvyclr) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Bitdefender’s new tool maps how attackers could reach critical systems","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/bitdefender-s-new-tool-maps-how-attackers-could-reach-critical-systems-5jdyvyclr","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/bitdefender-s-new-tool-maps-how-attackers-could-reach-critical-systems-5jdyvyclr"},"datePublished":"2026-10-27T13:33:18.995Z","dateModified":"2026-10-27T13:33:44.440Z","description":"Bitdefender has launched GravityZone Exposure Management, a tool that maps how attackers could chain small weak spots to reach a company's critical systems.
