Are your company computers actually protected?

Antivirus installed on a computer does not automatically mean the device is updated, monitored, or centrally managed. Answer seven questions to see whether unmanaged devices, missing updates, weak antivirus, or unreviewed alerts are leaving your business exposed. No logins, no sign-up.

Answer all seven to see your result.

Why installed antivirus is not the same as managed protection

A computer can have antivirus on it and still be out of date, unmonitored, or set up so an employee can turn the protection off. A laptop that leaves the office may drop off your radar entirely. And when nobody owns the alerts, a real detection can sit unseen for days. The gap is rarely "no antivirus." It is that the devices are not centrally managed, patched, and watched.

What managed device protection gives you

  • Business-grade protection on every computer, that employees cannot switch off
  • Automatic updates and patching across Windows and macOS
  • One dashboard showing the security status of every device
  • Protection that follows laptops off the office network
  • A clear owner for reviewing and responding to alerts, or Norvet’s managed monitoring
  • Encryption and remote actions for lost, stolen, or former-employee devices

Bitdefender GravityZone spans prevention, detection, response, patch management, encryption, and managed detection and response (MDR). It is one layer, not a guarantee: pair it with patching, backups kept separate from normal user access, MFA, training, and a tested recovery plan. Installing antivirus is not the same as running a security program. Norvet handles the rollout and the ongoing operation, from agent deployment and policies to alert response and monthly reporting.

Common questions

Isn’t the built-in antivirus (like Windows Defender) enough?
It can be enough for a very small business with simple needs and someone actively managing devices, updates, alerts, and recovery. A centrally managed platform becomes more useful once you have multiple employees, remote laptops, compliance requirements, limited IT staff, or nobody consistently reviewing alerts. The question is less "is there antivirus" and more "is every device managed, updated, and watched."
Does Bitdefender stop ransomware?
It reduces ransomware risk by blocking and detecting malicious activity, but no single tool is a guarantee. Endpoint protection is one layer. You still need patching, backups kept separate from normal user access, MFA, employee training, and a tested recovery plan.
How do you protect laptops that leave the office?
A managed platform protects a device wherever it is, not just on the office network, and reports its status back to one dashboard. Encryption and remote actions help when a laptop is lost, stolen, or belongs to someone who has left.
What does Norvet do here?
Installing antivirus is not the same as running a security program. Norvet handles plan selection, agent deployment, security policies, patch management, encryption, remote-device and offboarding cleanup, and reviewing and responding to alerts, with monthly reporting, so the software is actually operated, not just installed.
