The Ultimate Online Protection and Automation Your Business Needs
Secure your devices against threats
- Get more peace of mind with Avast’s award-winning business antivirus that’s rich with features, but won’t slow your business down.
Stay secure and private online
- Give your employees the privacy and security they need, so they can stay productive, no matter where they’re working from.
Save time with automated patching
- Cybercriminals exploit unpatched software vulnerabilities in operating systems and commonly used applications (Java, Adobe, Google Chrome, Zoom, etc.) as part of targeted attacks.
- Avast Business Patch Management will automatically address vulnerabilities on your software and third-party applications to keep your business safe.
Security that grows with your business
- As your business grows, so will your security needs.
- Our online management platform, the Avast Business Hub, makes it easy to manage all your devices and security services from one place — anytime, anywhere.

- If malware is detected, File Shield prevents the program or file from infecting your PC.

- If you attempt to run such a file, Cyber Capture locks the file from your PC and sends it to the Avast Threat Lab where it is analyzed in a safe, virtual environment.
- Monitors all network traffic between your PC and the outside world to protect you from unauthorized communication and intrusions.
- Firewall can prevent sensitive data from leaving your PC and can block attempted intrusions by hackers.
- Secures you against DNS (Domain Name System) hijacking.
- Some malicious programs can redirect you from an authentic URL to an inauthentic one to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details.
- Prevents Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) exploits and brute-force attacks by allowing you to choose who can remotely access your computer and block unwanted connections.
- Scans data that is transferred when you browse the internet in real-time to prevent malware, such as malicious scripts, from being downloaded and run on your PC.
- Monitors all processes on your PC in real-time for suspicious behavior that may indicate the presence of malicious code.

- Scans your network for vulnerabilities and identifies potential security issues that open the door to threats.

Security Browser Extension

- If you access your web-based email account via an internet browser, your PC is protected by other Avast shields.
- Allows you to browse the web or run an application in a completely isolated, safe environment.
- When you run an application in Sandbox, your activity and web content is contained, which prevents damage to your PC.
- This is useful when you want to run suspicious or untrusted applications without risk.
- Enables you to scan your PC when your system is not running.
- This method significantly increases your chances of detecting and removing malware because the malware is unable to counteract.
