5. Central Scan (Private Cloud scanning with Security Server) with fallback* on
Hybrid Scan (Public Cloud with Light Engines)
* When using a dual engines scanning, if the first engine is unavailable, the fallback
engine will be used. Resource consumption and network utilization will be based
on used engines.

Antimalware
The antimalware protection module is based on signature scanning and heuristic
analysis (B-HAVE) against: viruses, worms, trojans, spyware, adware, keyloggers,
rootkits and other types of malicious software.
Bitdefender's antimalware scanning technology relies on the following protection
layers:
●
●
First, a traditional scanning method is employed where scanned content is
matched against the signature database. The signature database contains byte
patterns specific to known threats and is regularly updated by Bitdefender. This
scanning method is effective against confirmed threats that have been
researched and documented. However, no matter how promptly the signature
database is updated, there is always a vulnerability window between the time
when a new threat is discovered and when a fix is released
Against brand-new, undocumented threats, a second layer of protection is
provided by B-HAVE, Bitdefender's heuristic engine. Heuristic algorithms detect
malware based on behavioral characteristics. B-HAVE runs suspected malware
in a virtual environment to test its impact on the system and ensure it poses
no threat. If a threat is detected, the program is prevented from running.
