FAQs

I have a small business with just a few computers. Can i install Avast free consumer antivirus on those computers instead?

If you’re a business that handles client data and has servers, then you need more than what our free consumer antivirus offers. Avast Business solutions offer advanced security, privacy, and productivity features to give your employees total digital privacy, security, and unparalleled productivity. They also come with an online management platform to provide real-time visibility of threats, comprehensive reporting, and remote management capabilities from a single platform.

 

Avast free consumer antivirus, Avast One, or Premium Security are intended for private, personal, and non-commercial use only. If you would like to use Avast in a business, commercial, non-profit, or government organization, we recommend trying Avast Business solutions.

Do i need to use the online managment plataform with the Essential Premium, or Ultimate Business Security products?

For the Essential and Premium packages, the online management platform is optional. You can choose to install the solution on each device independently without management capabilities. However, our online management platform, the Avast Business Hub, allows you to manage all your devices from one place. It provides robust reporting, alerting, device and policy management, network discovery, remote access and support tools, and more. 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.

 
Can I use the Essential, Premium, or Ultimate Business Security products with the Avast Business On-Premise console?

No, they are only available with our online management platform, the Avast Business Hub.

Do small businesses need cybersecurity?

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.

Which companies need cybersecurity?

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.
