Frequently asked questions
Which Bitdefender solution fits my size?
Small businesses with up to 100 devices use GravityZone Small Business Security or Business Security. Mid-size and large organizations use the full platform, with EDR, XDR and MDR in a single console. Managed service providers use GravityZone MSP Security. We run an assessment to recommend the right option.
Do I need a dedicated security team?
No. GravityZone is designed for organizations where IT and security responsibilities overlap: it automates alert triage, vulnerability prioritization and incident reporting. Those needing 24/7 coverage can add Bitdefender MDR, with a dedicated SOC, without the cost of building one in-house.
How is GravityZone deployed?
With a single lightweight agent per endpoint (Windows, macOS and Linux) and a cloud-hosted console that needs no on-premises infrastructure and can be up and running in under an hour. EU-hosted and on-premises console options are available.
Does Bitdefender replace my current antivirus?
Yes. GravityZone brings endpoint protection (EPP) and detection and response (EDR) into the same agent, and can be expanded with XDR and MDR. We plan the migration from your current solution with windows you approve so operations are not interrupted.
How does GravityZone compare to other platforms?
According to Bitdefender, GravityZone takes a prevention-first approach, validated by independent evaluations: in AV-Comparatives' Endpoint Prevention & Response test (2025), it achieved the highest breach-prevention rate and the lowest total cost of ownership.
