Studies show that since 2015, the internet is exposed to 140,000 new malware threats every day, which continue to both multiply and diversify exponentially. To protect them, today’s security solutions needs to be both intelligent and powerful.
Founded in 2001, Bitdefender quickly became a worldwide reference in software security. Bitdefender is currently ranked #1 thanks to its technologies’ ability to stay one step ahead of threat – no matter their number or complexity. Our unique technologies are developed from scratch and constantly tuned by our engineers and mathematicians. In January 2015, Bitdefender was named Product of the Year by leading AV-Comparatives institution as a token of its ability to anticipate new dangers, and know their next move.
Today, Bitdefender has a global presence, with 11 local offices. The development and headquarters are in Romania, where our innovation hub lies.
Ranging from home-user to small and medium enterprise, and rapidly expanding to enterprise and OEM, Bitdefender technologies now protect over 500 million users in more than 200 countries and geographical regions.
Bitdefender’s solutions are also localized in over 20 languages and over 100 OEM partners worldwide are covered by Bitdefender technologies.
For the past 15 years, Bitdefender has acted as a disruptor in the field of security. Our innovative technologies helped pave the way to how the software security landscape looks today.
Bitdefender is the first antivirus solution to include an application firewall, designed to control incoming and outgoing traffic from a computer. It was able to prevent an attacker from compromising users’ PC, as well as stop local applications from broadcasting sensitive information to unknown sources.
Bitdefender steps in with B-HAVE (Behavioural Heuristic Analyzer in Virtual Environments), a technology able to detect new viruses on its own, without the need of first receiving a signature from a central server. The innovative system created a virtual computer inside-a-computer, where pieces of software that look suspicious are run in order to detect any potential malicious behavior before it actually affects the system.
Bitdefender Active Threat Control is launched as a proactive technology capable of detecting and blocking new viruses in real time, on a live system, by constantly looking at active application behavior. Just like B-HAVE, ATC is therefore also able to detect previously unknown threats with pinpoint accuracy.
Bitdefender PhotonTM technology – takes smart decisions for scanning thresholds. The new technology knows whether the behavior of an application has changed from the last time it was opened. If a user-trusted application changes behavior, Photon instantly alerts all subsequent antimalware technologies and re-queues it for inspection. However, if nothing changes in the way a trusted application works, Photon allows it to perform normally with very light monitoring.
In 2013, Bitdefender introduces GravityZone a state-of-the-art architecture that makes it possible for enterprises to deploy the security in less than two hours, with scalability and load balancing capabilities built into the design. One year later, Bitdefender added another innovation to the field of enterprise security, by introducing hypervisor-based memory introspection technology, with the ability to protect against advanced attacks.
This year, with the launch of the 2016 consumer line, Bitdefender 2016 incorporates one of the first security technologies that protects files from ransomware, one of today’s fastest rising threats. This powerful technology stops even new or unknown ransomware from encrypting personal files and protects areas frequently targeted by this malware.
Bitdefender has a history of #1 rankings with independent testing organizations. For the past 4 years, it dominated AV-TEST protection results, thanks to its innovative technology mix. Today, Bitdefender officially offers the best protection from e-threats, such as zero-day exploits, viruses, spyware, hackers, spam, and phishing. Its multi-layered detection system uncovers threats better than any other security solutions, including Norton, McAfee or Kaspersky.
Bitdefender also has lowest impact on everyday activities such as visiting websites, downloading software, installing and running programs, as well as copying data. This has been achieved thanks to an innovative technology called Bitdefender PhotonTM, introduced in 2013, which gradually adapts to each PCs needs to minimize scanning impact.
Bitdefender’s new line of security solutions protects against the threats of today and tomorrow by using intelligent, proactive technologies that can uncover and remove even never-before-seen malware.
Thanks to its powerful technology mix, Bitdefender 2016 fights off every online malicious activity in existence, including: online banking and shopping theft, password stealing, data breaches, hidden spying software, or any infection that renders your device inoperable or causes massive slowdowns. Aside from full antimalware defense, Bitdefender also offers more advanced safeguards and rich features, including a dedicated online banking and e-shopping browser, a comprehensive password manager, advanced parental controls,social networking protection and more!
Through years of research we have developed an artificial intelligence based technology that offers the best security in the market. Our award-winning technologies use machine-learning algorithms to reveal new or unknown threats in a matter of seconds and with pinpoint accuracy.
Machine Learning algorithms are already used today all around us, greatly enhancing our comfort and quality of life. Self-driving cars, prosthetics, and Siri are some of the technologies using machine learning.
This type of artificial intelligence is still far from human-level intelligence, but it can be extremely useful. Bitdefender’s started writing its own machine learning algorithms 5 years ago and every since, it has trained them to looks for malicious patterns in huge amounts of information collected worldwide. During the last years, out algorithms learned how malware is built and how it evolves, and applies this knowledge to anticipate and strike down threats.
Today, our algorithms look for malicious patterns in huge amounts of signals collected worldwide. They process vast quantities of data in a very short time and continue to learn by themselves. Thanks to security-centric artificial intelligence, Bitdefender is incredibly effective at neutralizing threats, and instantly secures hundreds of millions of computers worldwide.
Ransomware is probably the fastest rising threat today. It works by encrypting access to important areas of your device such as photos, saved games or sensitive files, and asks for payment to return access to these files. Although the concept dates to the 80s, in 2014, it started to spike, with 2 people even committed suicide after being infected with it. By June 2015, FBI estimated the one single ransomware family called Cryptowall caused losses of 18 million dollars. Due to their powerful encryption mechanisms, ransomware need to be stopped before they get a chance to attack a device. Bitdefender 2016 incorporates one of the first security technologies that protect your files from ransomware and automatically stops even new or unknown ransomware from reaching your files.
There have never been so many cyber threats as today. And malware is now smarter and more sophisticated than ever. Over 90 million new malware samples were registered in the first six months of 2015 alone, adding to a total of over 375 million threats in the wild today. The traditional virus has been replaced by more stealthy threats such as zero-day, rootkits, ransomware, botnets and spyware. Today’s malware will linger undetected so it can leak data, steal money or encrypt your files and ask for ransom to decrypt them. To tackle this overwhelming wave of attacks, Bitdefender keeps an overview of threats through it’s global protective net. Its multiple security layers process over 11 billion signals each day from over 500 million users, tracing new malicious patterns and uncovering new types of threats before they get a chance to hit. Once a new threat is detected in one corner of the world, Bitdefender protects all its users from New York to Tokyo, in as little as 3 seconds.
In January 2015, Bitdefender is named Product of
the Year for a second time by AV-Comparatives. This achievement came from scoring high in all tests. Bitdefender proved a leader in detecting and removing all threats, including new or unknown ones, by securing GOLD awards for 3 key protection tests: Proactive Malware Detection, Real-World Protection, and Malware Removal. Additionally, Bitdefender also won GOLD for Best System Speed from AV-COmparatives, by proving to have the lowest impact on PC performance.
Bitdefender offers impeccable protection without impacting your device speed thanks to an internally developed technology called Bitdefender PhotonTM. After installation, Photon kicks in, gradually adapts to the users device, and ensures Bitdefender scans only what is necessary. Since its introduction in late 2012, Bitdefender has risen from rank 8 to #1 in AV-Comparatives Performance Tests, where it stays until today. Since then, Bitdefender also received countless reviews and positive user feedback that confirm this major improvement. Even the best security product is worthless if it’s difficult to use. Bitdefender AutopilotTM is a technology that makes the most comprehensive antivirus extremely easy to use. With the Autopilot switched on, whenever Bitdefender detects any type of e-threat, it will automatically block it.
Users no longer need to configure their protection levels or decide what actions to take each time a threat is detected. Most of the time, Bitdefender users are unaware of the many dangers they avoid daily. Bitdefender automatically makes the best security-related decisions, without user interaction. Autopilot is a technology deeply rooted in Bitdefender. It is automatically enabled, and can be simply disabled, at anytime, from a switch in the Main User Interface. The Autopilot eliminates standard notifications, configurations, or pop-ups. Bitdefender is essentially a silent security product that only communicates useful information. Bitdefender Profiles will adapt the PC’s performance according to a user’s activity. Each time the user plays, watches movies, or works, Bitdefender minimizes interruptions from other programs, and enhances resources for that activity. Autopilot automatically manages the profiles but the user can also select a specific profile directly from the product interface.
Children today are online at younger and younger ages. Additionally, many parents even set Facebook profiles for their newborns. So how should we keep our children safe online? With the redesigned parental advisor from Bitdefender, parents can now discreetly monitor their kids’ steps in the online world. This year, Bitdefender has rewritten Parental Advisor from scratch, making it extremely easy to use. You can see and restrict children’s online activity, including websites they visit, apps they use, or Facebook activity. You can even edit information that they make public or block inappropriate friends. Parents receive detailed reports about their kids’ activity and are notified each time one of them tries to bend a rule (such as going online late at night). All these, and more, can be managed directly online through Parental Advisor dashboard from Bitdefender Central, which can be easily accessed from any Internet-connected device, PC or mobile device.
Another major privacy concern for parents and children alike is theft or loss of their devices. Apart from the value of missing the device, having your data reach the wrong hands can both cause financial risks and raise privacy concerns for you or your family. Bitdefender Anti-Theft secures the data on users’ laptop in case of loss or theft. You can locate your lost device and lock it until you get it back. Alternatively, you can also wipe all your information from it, if necessary. This year, Anti-Theft has an improved lock functionality, allowing you to easily recover your unlock code and take back control of your device.
