Bitdefender has acquired a key division of BitShield, responsible for distributing Bitdefender solutions in Malaysia and Brunei as a trusted Country Partner.
The acquisition underscores Bitdefender’s continued investment in the APAC region – one of cybersecurity’s fastest-growing markets.
This acquisition aligns with Bitdefender’s broader strategy to expand its presence in the APAC region through both organic growth and strategic partnerships.
“Our long-standing collaboration with Bitdefender has enabled us to deliver leading-edge cybersecurity solutions to hundreds of partners and thousands of customers across Malaysia and Brunei,” said Susan Lulla, CEO, BitShield.
“By combining our deep understanding of the local market around security and data regulation challenges with Bitdefender’s global operations, we are well-positioned to deliver tailored security solutions and exceptional outcomes for organisations as the threat landscape evolves.”
“We are pleased to announce this strategic acquisition as part of our ongoing commitment to expanding our APAC presence,” said Florin Talpes, Co-founder and CEO, Bitdefender. “Building on our initial success in Singapore and Malaysia, this marks another step in our journey to grow our business there by working with more partners, reaching more customers, and expanding our team significantly.
For several years, BitShield has sold and supported Bitdefender solutions in Malaysia and Brunei – including endpoint protection and other offerings – to organisations across several key sectors, including government entities, financial institutions, multinational corporations and technology companies.
