## About

Cybersecurity company offering antivirus, endpoint protection, and threat detection solutions

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria. The team reached out to the company in February 2026 asking it to review the IP restrictions under the post-sanctions legal framework. The company's only reply was an empty automated acknowledgment, with no substantive response, and the block remains in place.

## Official timeline

- 2026-02-09 — Contacted Company. Outreach email sent to Bitdefender at legal@bitdefender.com requesting review of Syria IP restrictions for Bitdefender under the current post-sanctions legal framework.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-09 — Company Responded. Bitdefender's legal team sent an automated reply to the outreach email sent to legal@bitdefender.com. The auto-reply was essentially empty (contained only a period), confirming the email was received but providing no substantive response. No human review or acknowledgment of the Syria access request was indicated.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
