Bitdefender EDR adds a layer of detection, correlation, and response to your standard endpoint protection. It’s built for security teams who need to investigate incidents faster and shut down ransomware or active attacks before they spread.
Quick Benefits
- Spot Advanced Threats: Use endpoint event correlation and built-in investigation workflows to find what’s hidden.
- Strengthen Prevention: Layer EDR over your GravityZone protection for a “prevent + respond” strategy.
- Unified Management: Centralize your security in the GravityZone Control Center (available via cloud or on-prem).
- Expert Support: Get hands-on help with sizing, activation, and aligning your security rollout.
Bitdefender EDR At a Glance
- What it unlocks: Detection, correlation, and rapid response actions across all protected endpoints.
- Who needs it: Teams looking for security beyond traditional antivirus—specifically for ransomware defense and incident containment.
- License Type: Typically a main subscription + specific add-on licenses for feature unlocks.
- Typical Terms: Annual terms are standard; MSP monthly programs are available for service providers.
- Activation: Managed via a license key or entitlement applied directly in the GravityZone Control Center.
License Overview
A Bitdefender EDR license activates advanced detection capabilities within your GravityZone platform. Because Bitdefender uses a “main + add-on” licensing structure, you’ll typically need an active base license to unlock the EDR component.
How it works
The EDR module acts as an event-correlation engine. It pulls device intelligence from across your enterprise to spot in-progress attacks. Your license dictates which investigation workflows are available and how long you’re covered under that entitlement. If you’re on an MSP monthly model, specific product-type rules apply to how these features are enabled.
Sizing Strategy
EDR value is tied to your operational footprint: your endpoint count, OS mix, and how your team handles incidents. Mapping your licensing to your actual deployment plan from day one prevents coverage gaps and ensures your renewals remain predictable as your network grows.
Options & Tiers
Choosing the right setup depends on whether you need endpoint-only telemetry or broader visibility.
