Bitdefender vs Microsoft Defender

A common question we often get asked by our clients is what Anti-virus do you recommended or should you stick Microsoft Defender. While both are great at keeping your device safe, Bitdefender has some additional features that are incredibly advantageous to keep your business safe and secure.

Real-Time Protection: Bitdefender is known for its superior real-time threat detection and response capabilities, which can provide more comprehensive protection against emerging threats.

Additional Security Layers: Bitdefender includes features like ransomware protection, banking and payment protection, and network attack protection, which add extra layers of security to your digital life.

Advanced Features: Bitdefender offers a range of advanced features that Microsoft Defender lacks, such as webcam and microphone protection, a robust VPN service, and a file shredder.

To conclude I think Microsoft Defender is a solid, free option that comes pre-installed with Windows. However, if you are a business, you will need more advanced features and comprehensive protection, making Bitdefender the better choice.

This is only my opinion and not necessarily the view of the company.
