Bitdefenders Landmark Acquisition of French

Partner Profil Technology to Further Accelerate

Enterprise Growth

Bitdefender, the innovative security software solutions provider, has acquired

Profil Technology of France to rapidly bolster its global presence. The
acquisition will be the largest in Bitdefenders 15-year history and it will boost
the companys enterprise revenue and strengthen its position in the
European and global markets.
Bitdefenders 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.
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 companys future, said
Bitdefenders CEO and founder Florin Talpe. 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 companys
technical superiority into a commanding position in enterprise sales.
Bitdefender plans to invest in teams and resources to grow the enterprise
business rapidly, and to maintain consumer growth in the French market
by increasing the online reach.
Fueled by its latest innovations in IT security technology, Bitdefender has
tripled its enterprise sales in the past three years and won the trust of
major clients seeking to secure hybrid infrastructures.
In 2016 alone, Bitdefender established a local presence in Italy and
Sweden in an expansion strategy that leverages the worlds largest
security delivery infrastructure into a significant global presence.
Moreover, the companys partner network membership has more than
doubled in the past two years.
