Bitdefender GravityZone for businesses
We deploy Bitdefender GravityZone, which protects computers and servers against malware and ransomware and is managed from a single console. We supply licences, install the agents, set the policies and keep watch over alerts.
When companies ask us about Bitdefender
-
A different antivirus on every computer
Staff installed free programs and nobody knows whether they are up to date. One protection standard for the whole company replaces them all.
-
Protection status unknown on some computers
Some computers have not updated their protection for a long time, and warnings reach no one. We monitor every device and respond to detected threats.
-
The antivirus licence is about to expire
A renewal is a good moment to tidy up. We choose a GravityZone package, remove the old program and install the agents remotely.
-
Protection slows down a program on the server
A database or industry software runs slower after the antivirus is installed. Separate server policies and exclusions for the programs that need them solve this.
We can see which device lacks current protection and where a threat has appeared.
Endpoint protection is one layer. Firewalls, Microsoft 365 account security and backups are covered in our cybersecurity services.
What we do
- Choice of GravityZone package to match the number of workstations, servers and your needs
- Licence supply and renewal tracking
- Protection policies for groups of devices
- Agent installation on computers and servers, with removal of the old antivirus
- Checks that protection is running on every device
- Response to alerts and removal of detected threats
- Protection status reports as part of our managed IT services
Who it is for
- You run a small or medium-sized company and want centrally managed protection that fits its size
- You have no IT person to check the protection status of your computers every day
- A client or an insurer asks how you protect your computers and servers
- You want the option to add endpoint detection and response (EDR) later without changing vendor
One console for all computers and servers
The GravityZone console shows every device, its protection status and any detected threats. Policies are set for groups of devices, separately for workstations and for servers. Staff cannot switch off protection on their own computers.
- Protection status of every device
- Separate policies for workstations and servers
- Policies enforced centrally
Deployment without visiting every desk
We install the agents remotely. Before that, we remove the old security program, because two such programs on one computer cause performance problems. We only come on site for devices that cannot be reached remotely.
- Inventory of computers and servers
- Description of protection policies and exclusions after deployment
We respond to alerts
As part of our managed IT services, we check alerts and protection status, remove detected threats and let you know what happened.
- Response to detected threats
- Checks on devices without current protection
- Licences renewed on time
How we work
-
Device inventory
We list your computers and servers and the antivirus software you use today. We ask who responds to warnings now.
-
Design and quote
We choose the GravityZone package and the number of licences, then prepare a quote for licences and deployment.
-
Deployment
We set the protection policies, remove the old software and install the agents, remotely or on site.
-
Handover and documentation
We check that protection is running on every device and hand over a description of the policies and exclusions.
-
Support after deployment
We check alerts and protection status. When the system detects a threat, we respond and let you know.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Bitdefender cost for a business?
We quote individually. The price depends on the package, the number of workstations and servers, and the licence term. Deployment is quoted together with the licences.
How is the business version different from home antivirus?
The business version has a central console. It shows all devices, lets us set policies for the whole company and sends alerts, so we know which device needs attention.
Does Bitdefender protect against ransomware?
Yes, GravityZone has mechanisms that detect and block ransomware. No protection is a guarantee, though, so we always combine it with backups out of an attacker's reach.
Is there a Bitdefender version with EDR?
Yes. Endpoint detection and response (EDR) is part of the GravityZone Business Security Enterprise package, and the Defense XDR package combines this data with other sources.
We have Microsoft 365 Business Premium. Do we need Bitdefender?
Not always. Business Premium includes Microsoft Defender for Business, which protects devices and has EDR features. Check this before you buy separate licences. Defender also has to be configured, and someone has to read its alerts, so we help you choose the option that is easier to maintain in your company.
