    I just happened to be on the forum and noticed your post. After doing some research; BD does have cloud protection for Endpoints in business soulutions. This was all I could find unless someone else has any information.

    Hello :)


    Bitdefender uses cloud scanning for web traffic.


    All data filtered from the web is interrogated in cloud.


    Take care.

    That is concerning, not only for privacy reasons but security itself. I wonder how the data is collected and send for analysis, because what you just pointed out is that all web traffic is actually send to a third party, in this case BitDefender which im sure also again uses a third party vendor for their cloud service.


    Cloud is all the rage and marketing gimmick today, but I would be careful on how its used.

    Hello :)


    During the data exchange with the servers, no personal data is collected.


    Basically we do not know if the user "X" visited the "Y" website.


    Take care.

    Hello :)


    For the offline protection, we do not rely on the cloud.


    So, the product can function properly without the cloud components.


    Thank you!
