I’ll describe both the App and Agent in more detail throughout this review. The Agent is installed on devices and provides additional security protection. The App is used to manage the Box and the network and provide notifications of issues on your network. Note, the Bitdefender Box App is different from the Bitdefender Box Agent. It also has a 2.4 GHz 802.11bgn radio that is used only if you configure Box as a router.īefore physically connecting the device, you install the Bitdefender Box App on your iOS or Android device. This 2015 DigitalTrends review says Box has a single-core 400MHz MIPS microprocessor, 16 MB of flash and 64 MB of DDR2 RAM. I’d show you a picture of the Box’s components, but Bitdefender made the box with a plastic clip that would have broken had I tried to pry it open. So if you have internet service over 100 Mbps, you can skip the rest of this review. The front has a single LED on the underside, and the rear has just two 100 Mbps Ethernet ports and power port. It is a small white plastic square measuring just 3.5″ x 3.5″ by 1.1″ high. On the surface, the Box is a pretty unassuming device.
So I expected a mature product, capable of handling most anything thrown its way. The product has had time to evolve since then.
So Bitdefender Box was launched back in 2015 to address security for the Internet of Things. However, today’s security threats aren’t limited to devices running popular OSes. Like other AV and anti-malware companies, Bitdefender’s products are available in different suites covering Windows, Mac OS, Android and iOS devices. Bitdefender is a Romanian cybersecurity and anti-virus software company founded in 2001, serving both corporate and home users.
