The essential online protection you can’t go without

Wherever your employees are and whatever they’re doing online, we keep their devices and data safe.

Device protection

Protect your devices against malware infection

Get more peace of mind with Avast’s next-gen antivirus that’s rich with features, but won’t slow your business down.

Protection on business devices
Get always-on security to help keep your Windows PCs, Mac computers, and Windows servers secure from viruses, spyware, phishing, ransomware, and other cyberthreats.
Protection from infected files, emails, and websites
Our File Shield, Mail Shield, Web Shield, and Real Site help to prevent malware infection or phishing attacks. To help protect users against emerging cyberthreats, Behavior Shield and CyberCapture, powered by AI, are in place.
Data protection

Prevent ransomware encryption and data breaches

Keep your business and customer data safer from breaches and downtime with our firewall and multiple protective shields. Layered security helps prevent sensitive data theft or leakage.

Protection against ransomware encryption
Our Ransomware Shield helps to stop ransomware from changing, deleting, or encrypting files inside protected folders. Behavior Shield monitors processes on devices for suspicious behavior that may indicate the presence of malicious code and unknown zero-day threats. Together with File Shield and Web Shield, they provide peace of mind that your business critical information is safer from ransomware attacks.
Prevent cybercriminals from accessing your data
SOur endpoint firewall and Remote Access Shield help block unwanted connections, and stop Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) exploits and brute-force attacks by hackers and as such help prevent sensitive data from leaving your computers. Firewall monitors network traffic between your employees’ devices and the internet, helping protect your business data from unauthorized manipulation and transmission.
Keep your passwords safer
Secure your employees’ browser-stored passwords from theft.
Online security & privacy

Stay more secure and private online

Safeguard your employees’ online privacy, login credentials, and business information from cybercriminals.

Secure your webcams
Block unauthorized applications and malware from accessing your employees’ PC webcams without their consent.
Protect your passwords
Safeguard your browser-stored passwords from being modified or stolen.
Fake Website and Phishing Protection
Real Site helps keep your users away from fake, phishing sites designed to steal sensitive data such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. It is designed to secure users against DNS (Domain Name System) hijacking to ensure they get to the website they want to visit more safely.
