Run one Bitdefender GravityZone India standard.
How a Mumbai NBFC pulled four antivirus tools off its laptops, moved every endpoint onto one Bitdefender GravityZone console, and ended its yearly scare. Story below.
Bitdefender Endpoint Security at a glance
Why Bitdefender anchors most Indian endpoint security estates.
- OEM
- Bitdefender, founded in 2001, with headquarters in Bucharest, Romania and a US base in Santa Clara, California. Its technology protects hundreds of millions of systems worldwide and is licensed by other security vendors. In India, business licences are sold through bitdefender.in and an authorised partner and reseller network.
- What it is
- GravityZone is Bitdefender’s business security platform: one endpoint agent and one console covering prevention, EDR and XDR across laptops, servers and cloud workloads.
- Why teams pick it
- Independent labs rank its prevention engine at the top year after year, the single agent is light on older laptops, and one cloud console replaces a drawer full of separate antivirus, EDR and patch tools.
- Detection layers
- Machine-learning and behavioural analysis catch new malware before a signature exists, a dedicated anti-ransomware layer blocks and rolls back encryption, and Process Inspector watches running processes for attack behaviour rather than known files.
- Deployment
- Runs as a cloud-hosted GravityZone tenant or on-premises console. The same agent covers Windows, Linux, macOS and virtual machines, with add-ons for patch management, full-disk encryption, email security and managed detection.
- India pricing
- Indicative 2026 figures*: Business Security from about ₹990 per endpoint per year, Business Security Premium with EDR from roughly ₹2,500, and Enterprise tiers with XDR and managed detection higher again. Final price depends on endpoint count, term and add-ons.
- Sirius Star role
- We size the licence tier, provision the GravityZone tenant, migrate every endpoint off the old tools, tune the policies and EDR alerts, and run a quarterly review from Navi Mumbai.

Bitdefender Endpoint Security vs CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft
All four are honest choices. Most Indian buyers land on the first option for service depth and ecosystem fit.
| Brand | Where it wins | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| Bitdefender GravityZone | Top independent-lab prevention scores, a light single agent that runs on older laptops, and one console that folds antivirus, EDR, XDR and patching into a single licence. | Indian SMBs and mid-market firms that want strong protection and EDR on one platform without standing up a large security team. |
| CrowdStrike Falcon | A cloud-native platform with a strong managed threat-hunting reputation and deep enterprise tooling. | Large enterprises with a security operations team and a budget to match. |
| SentinelOne | Autonomous on-agent response and rollback with a strong EDR story. | Teams that want heavy on-device automation and have analysts to tune it. |
| Microsoft Defender for Endpoint | Tight integration with Windows and Microsoft 365, bundled into some E5 licences. | Microsoft-heavy estates already paying for the right licence tier. |

Bitdefender Endpoint Security India FAQ
Common questions about this brand for Indian buyers. Hover any underlined term for a plain-English definition.
What is the difference between Bitdefender GravityZone Business Security and Premium?
Business Security gives you top-rated prevention and anti-ransomware on a single light agent, run from one cloud console. Premium adds EDR, so when something gets blocked you can see the full attack timeline, find the root cause and isolate or remediate the device in one click. For finance, manufacturing and any regulated team, the EDR visibility in Premium is usually worth it. We size the tier to your risk, not to a catalogue.
What does Bitdefender GravityZone cost in India in 2026?
Indicative 2026 figures*: GravityZone Business Security from about ₹990 per endpoint per year, Business Security Premium with EDR from roughly ₹2,500, and Enterprise tiers with XDR and managed detection higher again. The real number depends on the endpoint count, the term and the add-ons such as patch management or encryption. Send your endpoint count and Sirius Star returns a quote in 24 working hours.
Is GravityZone cloud-hosted or on-premises?
Either. Most Indian teams run the cloud-hosted GravityZone tenant, which needs no server to manage and updates itself. Estates with strict data-residency or air-gap requirements can run the on-premises console instead. The same single agent and the same policies work both ways, so the choice is about your control needs, not the protection.
Does Bitdefender GravityZone help with DPDP compliance?
It helps with the security part. GravityZone keeps detailed audit logs of detections, policy changes and admin actions, which is the evidence an auditor asks for under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act. Strong endpoint protection and encryption reduce the chance of a reportable breach in the first place. Sirius Star sets the logging and retention so the trail is there when you need it. Compliance also needs process and policy work beyond any one tool.
Can Sirius Star migrate us off our current antivirus?
Yes. We audit the estate, provision the GravityZone tenant, then remove the old agents and roll out the single Bitdefender agent in a planned wave so nothing is left unprotected during the switch. We tune the EDR alerts so your team sees real signals, not noise, and run a quarterly review afterwards from Navi Mumbai.
Ready for a GravityZone quote?
Send your endpoint count and what you run now, not just a request for antivirus. Sirius Star sizes the tier, provisions the tenant and plans the migration off your old tools.
