Bitdefender
Bitdefender is a multinational cybersecurity technology company dual-headquartered in Bucharest, Romania and San Antonio, Texas, with offices in the United States, Europe, Australia and the Middle East. In the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, offices are located in Australia (Melbourne), as well as in Southeast Asia, including Singapore and Indonesia (Jakarta).
The company was founded in 2001 by current CEO and main shareholder, Florin Talpeș. Bitdefender develops and delivers cybersecurity products and services, including antivirus software, endpoint security, managed detection and response, identity protection and online privacy for consumers and enterprises.
Bitdefender products are distributed both online and through partners in over 150 countries, and the US market is estimated to generate more than 40% of its revenue. As of 2025, the company employed more than 1,800 people worldwide.
Bitdefender software was originally developed by SOFTWIN, a company founded in 1990 in post-communist Romania. It was originally sold as AVX (Antivirus Expert) from 1996 until 2001, when the Bitdefender subsidiary was created and AVX was rebranded under the Bitdefender name. In 2007, Bitdefender became a separate business entity with external capital entry, with Axxess Capital Investment Fund as a key shareholder.
From 2004 to 2015, the company expanded with offices in the United States, Germany, United Kingdom, Denmark, and the Middle East.
In 2017, the company acquired French partner Profil Technology. British fund Vitruvian Partners would then buy a 30% stake in the company, putting its valuation over $600 million.
In 2018, Bitdefender opened a new subsidiary in Australia through acquisition of assets from SMS eTech. That year, the company also acquired behavioral and network security analysis company RedSocks.
Bitdefender opened a Security Operations Center in San Antonio, Texas in 2019. The SOC serves as a headquarters for the company's managed detection and response services, and operates as part of a global network with additional SOCs in Romania and Singapore. Bitdefender analysts use telemetry from the company’s threat intelligence engines to identify, investigate, and respond to threats.
