In their own words

Bitdefender GravityZone Small Business Security

Bitdefender GravityZone Small Business Security provides endpoint protection for small businesses across Windows, Linux, and macOS, for up to 100 devices. It targets phishing, ransomware, and fileless attacks. Threat detection combines machine learning, behavioral analysis, and continuous monitoring; response actions can terminate processes, quarantine threats, or roll back malicious changes. For ransomware, the product detects abnormal encryption attempts and can restore files from backup copies. Fileless Attack Protection is enabled by default and includes Windows AMSI integration for dynamic, script-based attacks. The software blocks known phishing sites and warns users about fraudulent ones. A centralized console provides a unified view of security components and can automate cybersecurity events without additional servers. Web Access and Device Control, Network Attack Defense, and Risk Management are optional add-ons. Microsoft Active Directory hosted in Azure or on premises is supported; Amazon EC2 and the listed Datto RMM and ConnectWise PSA integrations are not supported for this edition. A paid subscription is required before it ends, begins on the purchase date, and renews automatically unless auto-renewal is canceled.
