When deploying Bitdefender GravityZone for your organisation, buying through an authorised Bitdefender partner ensures you get genuine licences, proper console setup, and technical support that goes beyond what a direct online purchase provides.
Cloudfy Systems is a Bitdefender Silver Partner in India. This post explains what that means for your GravityZone purchase and what to expect from our deployment process.
What Does "Bitdefender Silver Partner" Mean?
Bitdefender's partner programme has three tiers: Registered, Silver, and Gold. Silver status requires:
- Certified sales and technical staff who have passed Bitdefender's official training and exams
- A minimum annual sales volume in Bitdefender products
- Active engagement with Bitdefender's partner ecosystem
As a Silver Partner, Cloudfy Systems has access to:
- Bitdefender's official product and pricing portal
- Pre-sales technical support from Bitdefender's India channel team
- Partner-level deal registration to protect your pricing
- Priority escalation for technical support cases
For you as a buyer: this means you're purchasing from a partner that Bitdefender has vetted, trained, and authorised — not a grey-market reseller.
Why Buy Through Cloudfy Rather Than Direct?
Bitdefender does sell direct through its website. Here's why buying through Cloudfy makes more practical sense for most businesses:
| Aspect | Bitdefender Direct | Cloudfy Systems |
|---|---|---|
| Licensing | Self-provisioned | Partner-provisioned with verification |
| GST Invoice | Auto-generated, basic | Detailed GST invoice for ITC |
| Console Setup | DIY | Included — Cloudfy sets up GZC |
| Agent Deployment | DIY | Included — we deploy to your endpoints |
| Policy Configuration | DIY | Included — tailored to your environment |
| Ongoing Support | Bitdefender global support | Cloudfy local support + Bitdefender escalation |
| INR Billing | USD only (direct) | INR with GST |
The total cost of a direct purchase ends up being higher once you factor in the time your IT team spends on setup, configuration, and learning the GravityZone console from scratch.
Our GravityZone Deployment Process
Here's what you can expect when you buy GravityZone through Cloudfy:
Phase 1 — Discovery & Sizing (1–2 days)
Before we raise a purchase order, we understand your environment:
- Endpoint inventory — how many Windows, Mac, Linux machines?
- Server inventory — physical or virtual servers?
- Virtualisation — VMware vSphere, Hyper-V, or none?
- Current security product — what are you replacing?
- Compliance requirements — do you need EDR, email security, or archiving?
- Policy requirements — any specific application controls, USB restrictions, or web filtering?
Based on this, we recommend the right GravityZone plan (Business Security, Premium, or Elite) and the exact licence count.
Phase 2 — Licence Provisioning (Same day)
Once the purchase order is confirmed and payment is received:
- Licences are provisioned in GravityZone Cloud (GZC) within hours
- Your GZC console is activated and Cloudfy's technical team logs in to begin configuration
- We create your policy groups, set up default security policies, and prepare the deployment package
Phase 3 — Agent Deployment (1–5 days depending on scale)
Agent deployment method depends on your environment:
Remote push via GZC (most common): For Windows domain environments, we use GZC's built-in Network Discovery and remote push to deploy agents to all domain-joined machines simultaneously.
Group Policy (GPO) deployment: For large Active Directory environments, we create an MSI deployment task in GPO — agents install automatically on all machines at next login.
Manual deployment: For Mac, Linux, or non-domain Windows machines, we provide an installer package with pre-configured GZC connectivity.
SCCM / Intune deployment: If you use Microsoft SCCM or Intune for endpoint management, we provide the deployment package in the appropriate format.
Phase 4 — Policy Configuration (1–2 days)
Once agents are deployed and reporting to GZC, we configure your security policies:
- Malware protection: Scan schedules, real-time protection settings, exclusions for business applications
- Firewall: Default-allow with logging, or custom rules for specific applications
- Web Control: Category-based blocking (gambling, adult content, social media if required)
- Application Control: Whitelist or blacklist specific applications per group
- Device Control: USB policy — read-only, block, or allow per group
- Network Attack Defence: Alert or block mode for network-based attack detection
- EDR (Premium/Elite): Sensor configuration, alert thresholds, and investigation workflow setup
We create different policy groups for different departments if required — for example, stricter policies for finance and HR, more permissive for development.
Phase 5 — Verification & Handover
Before handover, we verify:
- All endpoints are shown as protected in GZC
- No endpoint has a pending threat or outdated signature
- All policies are applied correctly
- Alert notifications are going to the right admin email addresses
We then provide a brief (30–45 minute) walkthrough of the GZC console — dashboard, alert management, policy editing, and report generation — so your IT team can manage day-to-day operations.
Migration from Other Security Products
If you're running a different endpoint security product, the migration must be planned carefully. Running two endpoint security agents simultaneously is not supported and causes performance issues.
Our migration approach:
- Pilot group: Install GravityZone on 5–10 machines alongside the existing product in a read-only mode for 1 week to verify compatibility and catch any immediate issues
- Policy verification: Confirm GravityZone policies are working correctly before starting the broader rollout
- Batch uninstall + install: Uninstall the existing agent and install GravityZone in batches — typically 20–25% of the estate per day
- Verification: After each batch, confirm all newly deployed endpoints are reporting to GZC before moving to the next batch
Products we have migrated from: Symantec Endpoint Protection, McAfee (now Trellix), Kaspersky, ESET, Sophos Intercept X, K7, Quick Heal, and Windows Defender for Business.
GravityZone for Specific Indian Business Contexts
CA Firms & Finance
GravityZone Business Security Premium with email security is the recommended configuration. Key capabilities: phishing protection (critical for whaling attacks targeting partners and senior staff), EDR for investigation if a compromise occurs, and application control to restrict unnecessary software.
Manufacturing (Windows + OT)
For manufacturing environments with Windows-based OT systems (SCADA, MES, HMI), GravityZone's agentless scanning for virtualised OT environments reduces overhead on older hardware. Device control (USB blocking) is critical in factory floors.
IT/ITES Companies
GravityZone Elite with XDR is recommended for IT companies that have clients with data on their systems. XDR provides the forensic capability to demonstrate to clients that any incident has been fully investigated and contained.
Healthcare
GravityZone Business Security Premium with email security and application control is the baseline for healthcare organisations. Patch management is particularly important in healthcare due to the prevalence of older Windows versions on medical equipment.
Support After Purchase
Cloudfy's support for GravityZone includes:
- Policy changes: If you need to add applications to whitelist, change USB policies, or create new policy groups — we handle it
- New endpoint onboarding: Adding new machines to GZC — we can guide your IT team or do it remotely
- Alert investigation: For significant GZC alerts (EDR detections, network attack blocks) — we review the event with you and recommend action
- Licence renewal: We notify you 60 days before expiry and manage the renewal with no disruption to your protection
