The POC with Bitdefender went quickly and smoothly and the salespeople were great to work with. The Bitdefender cloud console was easier to navigate and use, and we were impressed with GravityZone’s excellent endpoint visibility and protection.”

Bitdefender MDR monitors our most sensitive systems 24x7x365. “To approach that level of coverage, we would need to hire at least two full-time equivalents at $250,000 annually—which is not feasible. Bitdefender MDR costs a fraction of that while providing us with higher-level expertise and more advanced monitoring of our network and resources. In fact, since we’ve deployed Bitdefender, there have not been any security breaches.”
