Did you know that it could take a company up to 197 days (that’s more than six months!) to identify a data breach, and another 69 days to contain it?
Advanced persistent threats (APTs) have become a top risk for businesses regardless of their size or industry. Unlike typical attacks, APTs sit undetected in systems for months. This makes it easy for them to monitor network activity and steal data using advanced tools, resources, and different steps.

In this age of IoT, cybersecurity is not a problem that only large organizations have to worry about, like banks and governments. Companies with less than 1,000 employees are at risk with a staggering 43% of all attacks targeting small businesses.
Why? Because they have vulnerable data that’s not properly protected and monitored against new and sophisticated threats.
Most SMBs will not survive a breach. As an MSP serving as a trusted solution provider for your clients, you can’t afford to allow them to operate with poor or mediocre cybersecurity.
Bitdefender Antivirus is a top-rated endpoint protection platform that serves as the perfect fundamental security offering.
In this post, we’ll look at:
- Why offering Bitdefender Antivirus is mission-critical
- Why adding it to your managed service offering makes sense for your business
- How you can get the conversation started with your clients about security
- How to increase your revenue through managed security in a competitive market
Why your clients need Advanced Threat Protection
We all know that hackers are constantly working on finding ways to break into network servers and devices to steal any data they can sell. That won’t ever change as long as the internet is around.
By using an advanced endpoint protection platform (EPP), like Bitdefender, you’ll be taking a proactive approach to prevent, detect, and respond to old, new, and sophisticated threats early.
To ensure that you provide comprehensive, advanced threat protection, an EPP should have these five critical security components:
- Layered protection for all endpoints: A single layer of security is not enough to protect a company in today’s intelligent cybercrime landscape. Multiple layers of defense work together to stop a breach by filling any gaps and closing loopholes through which an attacker might access the network.
- Real-time visibility: Detecting threats early involves continuous monitoring and visibility across all endpoints.
- AI and machine-learning capabilities: For true security effectiveness, these technologies analyze data to adapt and respond to new threats without any effort on your part.
- Antimalware and antivirus protection: Combine both capabilities to combat typical threats (worms, viruses, Trojans) as well as new and sophisticated malware.
- Centralized endpoint management: To manage endpoints, you need to be able to control and monitor security services efficiently.
Why you should start reselling Bitdefender endpoint protection
Gartner reported that managed services would represent more than 50% of security software delivery by 2020. This means that providing endpoint security to your clients is not only a huge growth opportunity; it’s also a top priority.
Bitdefender Antivirus is one of the best security platforms available for physical, virtual, and cloud environments. It has excellent protection and performance scores; a wide range of features and enhancements that manages new and sophisticated threats in real-time across all enterprise endpoints, without slowing down systems.
Also, it helps to reduce the time spent analyzing false-positive threats to a minimum, so you can put more time and effort into fixing real security issues.
How to maximize profitability by reselling Bitdefender
Data breaches have increased by a whopping 54% in just the first six months of 2019 compared to the same time last year, according to a report by Risk Based Security.
