What is Bitdefender?
Bitdefender makes antivirus and security software for consumers, small businesses and enterprises. It has been in the business since 2001. Home users can buy a single product such as Antivirus Plus, Antivirus for Mac or Mobile Security for Android and iOS, or an all-in-one plan like Total Security, Premium Security or Ultimate Security. Some of these plans add a VPN, the SecurePass password manager, identity protection and scam detection.
Businesses get the GravityZone platform. It covers endpoint detection and response (EDR), extended detection and response (XDR), patch and vulnerability management, cloud security posture management, email security and full disk encryption. Bitdefender also sells managed detection and response, penetration testing and incident response services.
Free tools include Antivirus Free for Windows and Android, the Scamio AI scam detector, a link checker and a digital footprint checker. Bitdefender also works with resellers and MSPs and licenses its technology to OEMs.
