Bitdefender Named a Representative Vendor in the 2025 Gartner Market Guide for Managed Detection and Response

"Bitdefender has once again been recognized as a Representative Vendor in the Gartner® Market Guide for Managed Detection and Response (MDR) - marking the fourth consecutive year of inclusion. According to Gartner, more than 600 providers globally claim to deliver MDR services, yet only a select few meet the criteria to appear in the Market Guide. While inclusion is not a ranking or comparative assessment, we believe it underscores Bitdefender's human-driven approach to MDR and our continued alignment with Gartner's rigorous inclusion standards."

"To be included, must demonstrate consistent visibility through Gartner client inquiries or Peer Insights reviews, focus on delivering end-user-oriented services rather than purely technological solutions, and represent a variety of company sizes and geographies. We believe independent analyst research like the Gartner Market Guide for Managed Detection and Response is a valuable resource for organizations assessing MDR providers. The report outlines the evolving MDR landscape, identifies its core components, and highlights emerging trends - including the growing emphasis on proactive exposure management."

"The MDR market continues to expand rapidly, fueled by two key forces: the rising sophistication of cyber threats and the ongoing shortage of skilled in-house security talent. While large enterprises have long had access to around-the-clock monitoring and expert-led response, small and mid-sized organizations are increasingly recognizing the same need - often without the capacity to build and maintain full Security Operations Centers (SOCs)."

Bitdefender received Representative Vendor recognition in the Gartner Market Guide for Managed Detection and Response for the fourth consecutive year, reflecting continued visibility and compliance with inclusion standards. Inclusion requires demonstrable visibility through Gartner client inquiries or Peer Insights reviews, delivery of end-user-oriented services rather than solely technological solutions, and representation across company sizes and geographies. Gartner identifies core MDR components and emerging trends such as proactive exposure management. MDR adoption is accelerating due to rising cyber threat sophistication and shortage of skilled in-house security talent. Bitdefender MDR combines advanced detection technologies, global threat intelligence, and expert-led response to deliver enterprise-grade protection without a full SOC.
