The acquisition will be the largest in Bitdefender’s 15-year history, according to the company.
“Bitdefender’s consolidated positioning in France will help the company grow its share of the French enterprise and consumer markets, with a team of 50 sales and marketing professionals and a French-speaking support organization,” the company said.
Bitdefender, present in France since 2001, has rapidly become the leading security vendor in retail, accounting for a third of cybersecurity solutions purchased in-store by home users in France. Bitdefender also protects more than 1 million enterprise terminals across all industries (i.e. public sector, education, health, finance, etc.).
“France is a key focus market for the company’s future. By taking the business in-house, we will be closer to our partners and customers and aim to repeat our success story in the enterprise market, and translate the company’s technical superiority into a commanding position in enterprise sales,” said Bitdefender’s CEO and founder Florin Talpes.
Bitdefender has tripled its enterprise sales in the past three years.
Bitdefender is a global security technology company that provides innovative and transformative cyber security solutions to more than 500 million users across businesses and homes in more than 150 countries.
