As your business grows and security needs change, the Avast Business Hub allows you to get other services such as Patch Management and Cloud Backup, and manage all your Avast solutions from one platform. For the Ultimate package, the online management platform is required. Avast Patch Management is only available as a managed product.

Yes, all businesses need cybersecurity, including small businesses. Since many small businesses tend to have less resources to develop robust protection against complex cyberthreats, they unfortunately become frequent targets of cybercriminals. According to the U.S. National Cyber Security Alliance, 60% of small businesses that are victims of a cyberattack go out of business within six months. At Avast, we deliver solutions that will protect your small businesses from cyberthreats so that you don’t have to worry about losing what you’ve worked so hard to build.

Any company that operates online in any capacity, whether primarily or partially, needs cybersecurity. Although industries such as healthcare, finance, and government tend to require stronger cybersecurity due to highly sensitive information being handled, the reality is that every business should have some form of cybersecurity in place. In the past, having onsite security for offices might have been enough, but now that more businesses are operating online due to increased remote work and digital transformation, protection against cyberthreats is an incredibly important part of ensuring that your business continues operating smoothly and securely.
