Who deploys it

  • Since 2007with 1,500+ active cloud customers across the Middle East.

  • We design, deploy and supportBitdefender, Kaspersky and Microsoft Defender, so the recommendation follows your setup, not a single vendor.

  • Microsoft Solutions PartnerDefender for Business configured alongside Intune and Microsoft 365.

  • Local officesin Dubai, Muscat and Doha with local billing; delivery and support are remote, in English and Arabic.

We architect and deploy

  • Kaspersky

Endpoint security protects laptops, desktops, servers and mobile devices from malware and ransomware, and EDR (endpoint detection and response) records device activity so attacks can be traced and stopped.

Gulf Infotech, serving businesses across the Middle East since 2007, designs, deploys and manages Bitdefender GravityZone, Microsoft Defender for Business and Kaspersky remotely, with offices in Dubai, Muscat and Doha.

What threats does endpoint security stop?

  • Ransomware: encrypts files on laptops and file servers, often after a phishing email or a stolen remote-access password.
  • Infostealers: malware that copies saved browser passwords and session cookies, which attackers then use to log in to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace.
  • Unpatched software: old versions of Windows, browsers or VPN clients with known holes.
  • Lost or stolen laptops: data readable by whoever finds the device, unless the disk is encrypted.
  • Attacks that bypass antivirus: hands-on intruders using legitimate admin tools, which only EDR behaviour monitoring tends to catch.

Antivirus, EDR, XDR or MDR: what is the difference?

The tool matters less than whether someone acts on its alerts. Without a person or service reading EDR alerts, you mostly pay for logs.

Endpoint protection (next-gen antivirus)What it doesBlocks known and unknown malware and ransomware on the deviceWho needs itEvery business, on every device
EDRWhat it doesRecords process, file and network activity, flags suspicious behaviour, lets you isolate a device and see the full attack timelineWho needs itFirms with sensitive data or more than a handful of devices
XDRWhat it doesCorrelates EDR with email, identity, cloud and network signalsWho needs itOrganisations with an IT or security team to act on the alerts

Which endpoint security should you buy?

USD per user per month, billed annually (annual upfront commitment), prices as of October 2026, excluding VAT (Oman and UAE 5%, Saudi Arabia 15%, Bahrain 10%, Qatar and Kuwait none). Defender for Business covers up to five devices per user; Windows and Linux servers need extra licences. Bitdefender and Kaspersky are quoted per device; Defender for Business is supplied in every country we serve. See Bitdefender vs Microsoft Defender.

What do we deploy and manage?

  1. Step 1:

    Inventory

    count devices and servers, record current antivirus and its expiry.

  2. Step 2:

    Policy design

    protection, firewall, device control, web filtering and exclusions for your line-of-business software.

  3. Step 3:

    Rollout

    remove the old product and deploy the new agent in batches, starting with IT and a pilot group.

  4. Step 4:

    Hardening

    disk encryption, patch management and attack-surface rules where licensed.

  5. Step 5:

    Monitoring

    we monitor alerts Sunday to Friday, 8:30 am to 6:00 pm GST, quoted per user and per device, with quarterly reviews; Bitdefender MDR adds the vendor's 24x7 coverage.

  6. Step 6:

    Response

    isolate an infected device, clean it, and work with you on recovery from backup.

What evidence does endpoint security give your compliance team?

Your compliance team decides the requirements; we configure endpoint security to match and document the settings. That record, with logs and reports from the console, answers the questions customers, banks and auditors usually ask. See the security and data controls review.

Frequently asked questions

What is endpoint security and EDR?
Endpoint security is software on each laptop, desktop, server and phone that blocks malware and ransomware. EDR, endpoint detection and response, goes further: it records what happens on the device, flags suspicious behaviour and lets an administrator isolate the device and trace the attack. Most business products, including Bitdefender GravityZone and Microsoft Defender for Business, combine both in one agent.
How much does it cost per user/device?
Endpoint security is quoted for your requirement. Microsoft Defender for Business covers up to five devices per user and is already included in Microsoft 365 Business Premium with Copilot. Bitdefender GravityZone is licensed per device and we quote Kaspersky for your device count; EDR, XDR and MDR tiers cost more than basic protection. We quote in your currency, excluding VAT.
Do you manage it for us?
Yes. We deploy the agent, set policies, monitor alerts Sunday to Friday, 8:30 am to 6:00 pm GST, keep exclusions current, clean up infected devices and hold quarterly reviews with you. For 24x7 coverage we add Bitdefender MDR, where Bitdefender's analysts monitor and respond around the clock. Your proposal states what we monitor and when. If you have your own IT team, we can train them and handle escalations instead.
Does it make us compliant?
Not on its own. Endpoint security is one technical control. Your compliance team decides which requirements apply; we configure it to match, document the settings and give you the logs and reports that show it works.
Is Windows Defender antivirus enough for a business?
The Microsoft Defender Antivirus built into Windows blocks common malware, but on its own it gives you no EDR, no attack timeline and no single view of alerts across the company. A business product such as Defender for Business or Bitdefender GravityZone adds that console, EDR and central policies, which is what you need to see and stop an attack that spreads.
Can you switch us from our current antivirus without downtime?
Yes. We remove the old product and install the new agent in batches, starting with a pilot group, so devices are never left unprotected. The switch is typically done remotely and outside busy hours. We test your accounting, ERP and other business software against the new policies before the full rollout.
