The event at Guan Rooftop
This week I had the privilege of attending the Bitdefender MSP & NOD event held at Guan Rooftop in Bucharest, a premium, airy setting with a superb panoramic view of the city.
The atmosphere combined relaxed networking with intense discussions about one of the critical topics for any company: cybersecurity.
Bitdefender and MSPs – responding to digital threats
GravityZone Cloud & MSP Security Suite
Bitdefender’s presentation highlighted the GravityZone Cloud & MSP Security Suite, a platform built for IT service providers who need to manage multiple infrastructures and customers, providing:
- Advanced prevention – over 99% of attacks blocked before they reach endpoints or servers.
- Flexibility – “pay as you go / pay as you grow” model, without long-term contracts, which allows for rapid scaling of services.
- Automation – integration via APIs with RMM/PSA, AWS, SIEM and other systems, reducing administrative burden.
- Extended detection and response (XDR, EDR, MDR) – complete visibility and rapid incident response, with threat hunting teams available 24/7.
These features are not just technology with which to parade at events, but are concrete responses to the realities in Romania, where ransomware and phishing attacks are intensifying, and regulations such as GDPR, NIS2 and DORA raise the standard of compliance and accountability.
LifeinCloud – Bitdefender Partnership
At LifeinCloud, we collaborate with Bitdefender to implement these solutions in extremely diverse industries: manufacturing, transportation, construction, packaging, food retail.
In all these areas, IT security is no longer a “luxury”, but a condition for survival. An attack that paralyzes production lines, blocks deliveries or compromises customer data can mean losses of millions and permanent damage to reputation.
That’s why cybersecurity is the invisible skeleton of a healthy business: you don’t see it every day, but without it everything would collapse.
How much should a company invest?
The discussions at the event also touched on a practical question: “What is the minimum budget for cybersecurity?”
A realistic estimate for companies in Romania would be 1–3% of the turnover, allocated annually for basic solutions: endpoint protection, automated backup, advanced firewall and 24/7 monitoring.
It is a tiny investment compared to the losses generated by a single major attack.
A “top-down” perspective on security
Looking at Bucharest from the height of the Guan rooftop, the discussions about cybersecurity had a special symbolism: from above you see more clearly, you anticipate better and you understand the interconnectedness of the entire ecosystem.
That’s exactly what the Bitdefender & LifeinCloud partnership brings to our customers: visibility, resilience, and the ability to turn threat and regulatory pressure into growth opportunities.
