BitDefender Partners with appAttach to Offer Antivirus Solutions to OEM Providers

May 2011


Internet security company provides small to mid-sized PC and hardware manufacturers an easily way to pre-install their products with an antivirus solution.

BitDefender®, an award-winning provider of innovative internet security solutions, today announced its collaboration with appAttach, a company which brings device manufacturers, software vendors and online service providers together,enabling them to find, transact and manage pre-loaded distribution deals over the Internet.By partnering with BitDefender, companies working with appAttach will have access to BitDefender products, making the licensing of products very easy.

Formally known as Rightware Exchange, appAttach allows OEM manufacturers to pre-load products. By teaming up with BitDefender, appAttach will allow tier 2 and 3 businesses to easily pre-install BitDefender OEM products to provide additional revenue and product differentiation. This will also help small manufacturers to compete with larger companies with integrated antivirus products – something that was previously a differentiator between these smaller companies and their competition.

“BitDefender is an extremely important addition to the appAttach community. The partnership brings many benefits, as smaller OEMs now have access to pre-loaded antivirus functionality”, said James DePoy, founder and CEO of appAttach. “Pre-installing BitDefender antivirus products will generate revenue and be a way to differentiate their products from the competition.”

“We are happy that appAttach wanted to be a part of the BitDefender partner ecosystem. With this relationship, we are able to offer OEM providers with smaller volumes the same advantages as large OEM manufacturers that pre-install internet security products,” said Peter Laakkonen, BitDefender’s General Manager of OEM and Technology Licensing. “We want PC and hardware OEM vendors of any size to have easy access to Internet Security technology and this is another way these companies can bundle BitDefender products to help add strong value to their products.”
