Installation Prerequisites

• Uninstall any other existing EDR or antimalware software. EDR can co-exist with other third-party antimalware software if you are not using malware protection capabilities. Running the malware protection capabilities with another antimalware software might result in undefined system behavior.
• For malware protection, ensure that you allow the following domains:
  • cloudfront.net
  • bitdefender.net
  • bitdefender.com
• If you use Qualys Gateway Service (QGS), you can allow the domains using the Qualys Gateway Appliance Configuration. For more information, refer to the Qualys Gateway Service User Guide
