Those who have Bitdefender Internet Security or Total Security get parental controls with these packages, and can manage them in Bitdefender Central. Should you lose a device or have it stolen, Bitdefender Central gives you the ability to track it down, or send a message – and in the worst-case scenarios, remotely lock or wipe the hardware (again, assuming it’s connected online). You can also remotely run device optimization measures, or a vulnerability scan.

That includes remotely triggering a malware scan on a device, for example (note that obviously the hardware in question must be powered on and connected to the net). You can view the details of any device with a Bitdefender product installed, and manage certain features directly from the Bitdefender Central hub.

The functions you can access via Bitdefender Central include:

It offers not just management but remote access, too, which means if you have a subscription like Bitdefender Total Security which supports a lot of devices – perhaps across your entire family – you can take control and do things for less tech-savvy folks.
