Vendor

G DATA has been in Bochum, in Germany's Ruhr valley, since 1985 and says it wrote the world's first antivirus software in 1987 — a claim it makes prominently and which is genuinely contested, several companies having arrived at the same idea in the same two years. It remains privately held, with around 500 staff. It makes a point of the country it is in. "Cybersecurity — Made in Germany" is its standing positioning, and for buyers under German or EU data-protection obligations that is the substance of the offer as much as detection is: development, support and data processing stay inside Germany, and the company signed the German IT industry association's no-backdoor undertaking. Households buy G DATA Antivirus for Windows, G DATA Antivirus for Mac, G DATA Internet Security, G DATA Total Security and G DATA Mobile Internet Security for Android. Organisations buy G DATA Antivirus Business, G DATA Client Security Business and G DATA Endpoint Protection Business, with managed detection and response and security awareness training sold alongside them.
