BITDEFENDER GRAVITYZONE
Bitdefender GravityZone Endpoint Protection
Our standard Bitdefender deployment is the prevention-and-hardening core — exploit defense, network attack defense, behavior monitoring, and ransomware mitigation with rollback. EDR, XDR, MDR Foundations, patch management, and full-disk encryption are available as add-on modules (selected from the Security Modules list in the GravityZone console) when an engagement calls for deeper detection-and-response coverage.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Core capabilities
-
Prevention layer (default)
Exploit Defense, Web Threat Protection, Network Attack Defense, Firewall, and Behavior Monitoring — the core machine-learning prevention stack that blocks most threats at pre-execution before they reach the user. Included in every Bitdefender deployment.
-
Security hardening (default)
Risk Analytics surfaces misconfigurations and vulnerable endpoints; Content Control and Device Control restrict the attack surface (USB device whitelisting, browsing policy, etc.) without micromanaging users. Cloud intelligence and ML feed the detection layer with continuously-updated threat signals.
-
Ransomware Mitigation & Rollback (default)
Bitdefender keeps tamper-proof copies of files being modified by suspicious processes. When malicious encryption is detected the originals are restored automatically — typically limiting a ransomware event to a single-machine inconvenience rather than an environment-wide outage. Included in every deployment.
-
Optional upgrade modules
EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response), XDR (cross-domain correlation across endpoint, identity, M365/Workspace, network, cloud), MDR Foundations (24/7 Bitdefender SOC), Patch Management, Full Disk Encryption, ATS (Advanced Threat Security), and others — selected per client from the GravityZone Security Modules list when the engagement warrants the additional coverage.
WHY IT MATTERS
Why Bitdefender over the competition
Bitdefender is consistently ranked at the top of independent testing (Gartner, Forrester, MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations, AV-TEST, AV-Comparatives) and is built cloud-native and multi-tenant from the ground up — not a single-tenant tool with a portal bolted on later. The prevention-and-hardening core that ships in every deployment is the layer that actually stops most threats before they fire, which is why we make it our baseline.
The modular tiering means we can match coverage to each client's risk profile and budget without forcing them all onto the most-expensive SKU. A retail shop on the prevention core may sit alongside a higher-risk client on EDR or full MDR Foundations — same console, same Anthony, scaled cost.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
What's actually included in your default Bitdefender deployment?
The prevention-and-hardening core plus ransomware mitigation with rollback. Specifically: Exploit Defense, Web Threat Protection, Network Attack Defense, Firewall, Behavior Monitoring, Risk Analytics, Content Control, Device Control, and Ransomware Mitigation & Rollback. This is what Bitdefender calls "Endpoint services" — the foundational layer that handles the bulk of real-world threats at pre-execution.
When do you recommend upgrading to EDR, XDR, or MDR Foundations?
EDR makes sense when a client has compliance pressure (cyber-insurance, PCI DSS, SOC 2) that requires demonstrable detection-and-response capability, or when their threat profile warrants the deeper forensics and rollback that EDR provides over the prevention layer alone. XDR adds value for environments with heavy Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace usage where identity-and-productivity correlation matters. MDR Foundations is right for clients without anyone watching alerts in-house — Bitdefender's SOC takes the pager.
How are the upgrade modules priced?
Per-seat, per-module, monthly. Each module you add to a client (EDR, XDR, MDR Foundations, Patch Management, Full Disk Encryption, etc.) increments the per-seat cost. There is no minimum commitment and no all-or-nothing bundling — you can add EDR to one client and leave another on the prevention core. Anthony aggregates seat counts across all clients for volume pricing through the partner channel and passes the discount through.
Does it replace Microsoft Defender for Endpoint?
For most SMBs, yes — Bitdefender ranks higher in independent testing, has better ransomware rollback even at the base prevention tier, and the multi-tenant console plus monthly per-seat billing fit an MSP-delivered model better than M365 E5 / Defender for Business does. For some Microsoft-heavy environments that already have E5, we can layer Bitdefender alongside Defender; usually one wins on cost and clarity.
What systems can you protect?
Windows workstations and servers, Linux, and macOS as endpoints. Optional modules cover Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, AWS, Google Cloud, on-prem networks, mobile (iOS, Android), virtualized environments, and containers. Coverage scales with which modules a client is provisioned for.
What is ransomware rollback and does it actually work?
Bitdefender keeps tamper-proof copies of files that are being modified by suspicious processes. When malicious encryption is detected, the original files are restored automatically. In real engagements this has limited ransomware events to single-machine inconveniences rather than environment-wide outages. It is included in every Bitdefender deployment by default — no upgrade module required.
Does it integrate with RMM tools like ConnectWise or NinjaOne?
Yes — Bitdefender ships with named integrations for ConnectWise, Kaseya, NinjaOne, Atera, Pulseway, Syncro, Datto, and RG System. Alerts and asset data flow into the RMM/PSA so client-facing reporting stays in one place.
