iConnect & Bitdefender Partnership
Bitdefender is a global cybersecurity leader trusted by millions of businesses and government organisations worldwide. Built around the GravityZone platform, Bitdefender delivers prevention-first endpoint protection, AI-powered threat detection, and extended detection and response across physical, virtual, and cloud environments. The platform consistently ranks first in independent evaluations by AV-Comparatives, AV-TEST, and MITRE ATT&CK, and supports compliance with ISO 27001, NIST, PCI-DSS, GDPR, and UAE NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC).
As a certified Bitdefender partner in Dubai, iConnect brings the full depth of the GravityZone ecosystem to organisations across the UAE and wider Middle East. Together, we deliver unified security coverage spanning endpoints, cloud workloads, network traffic, user identities, and productivity applications including Microsoft 365, ensuring complete visibility whether your infrastructure is on-premises, hybrid, or fully cloud-hosted.
iConnect configures and deploys Bitdefender GravityZone to match each client’s specific IT environment, risk tolerance, and regulatory obligations, ensuring every deployment is optimised for performance without compromising protection depth or operational continuity.
Our Bitdefender Expertise
iConnect’s certified engineers hold deep hands-on expertise across the full Bitdefender GravityZone portfolio. From initial licensing and architecture design through deployment, policy tuning, and ongoing managed support, we provide end-to-end delivery backed by regional experience across the UAE’s most demanding sectors.
GravityZone Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP)
iConnect deploys Bitdefender GravityZone EPP across Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile endpoints using a single lightweight agent. The platform combines advanced machine learning, HyperDetect behavioural analysis, Network Attack Defence, and Ransomware Mitigation to stop known and unknown threats before they execute, with zero performance compromise on protected devices.
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
iConnect implements GravityZone EDR to give security teams continuous visibility into endpoint activity with automated cross-endpoint correlation. Real-time attack chain visualisations, MITRE ATT&CK-aligned detections, and one-click response actions allow organisations of any size to investigate incidents faster and contain lateral movement before damage escalates.
Extended Detection and Response (XDR)
For organisations operating across complex environments, iConnect deploys GravityZone XDR with native sensors covering network traffic, cloud workloads, user identities, and Microsoft 365 activity. The centralised Incident Advisor correlates signals across all domains into a single organisational-level view, eliminating blind spots and enabling a coordinated response across every attack surface.
Managed Detection and Response (MDR)
iConnect delivers Bitdefender MDR and Managed XDR (MXDR) services that extend your security team around the clock. Backed by Bitdefender's global SOC of over 285 analysts, threat hunters, and researchers, MDR provides 24/7 monitoring, proactive threat hunting, and guided incident response, freeing internal teams to focus on business priorities rather than alert triage.
Patch Management and Risk Analytics
iConnect uses GravityZone Patch Management to maintain up-to-date operating systems and third-party applications across Windows, macOS, and Linux fleets from a single console. Combined with GravityZone Risk Management, organisations gain a continuous view of endpoint vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and human risk factors, enabling prioritised remediation before threats can exploit weaknesses.
Cloud Workload and Email Security
iConnect extends Bitdefender GravityZone protection to cloud-native workloads including virtual machines, containers, and serverless functions on AWS and Azure, while GravityZone Email Security filters phishing, malware, and business email compromise (BEC) threats before they reach the inbox. Full Disk Encryption rounds out the stack with centralised key management and GDPR-ready compliance reporting.
