Antivirus for business

Businesses need to constantly monitor for security blind spots to help keep their devices and networks safe, making effective antivirus software (combined with best practices) essential for helping prevent malware, which could result in data breaches and other forms of malicious activity. Common attack types include:

Your Browser
Adware
Adware presents the victim with a huge amount of adverts and pop-ups. Not only is this frustrating, but adware could also download apps without permission and track or record the user’s online activity.
Your Browser
Trojans
Trojan malware disguises itself as something legitimate, such as a spreadsheet file or .zip folder, to sneak onto your network. Once there, it will run the malware it has been concealing.
Your Browser
Phishing
Phishing attacks trick the user into believing that malicious communications are actually legitimate by manipulating the victim to either download infected files, or share sensitive information. Antivirus can scan email attachments and links to help identify and remove suspicious files.
Your Browser
Spyware
Spyware is a threat that can be difficult to spot. Its goal is to sneak into a network undetected to capture information – from logging everything that is typed to capturing browsing history or recording conversations.
Your Browser
Ransomware
Ransomware is considered one of the largest threats to business cybersecurity. It will silently enter a network, identify important files and encrypt them. Only then will it reveal itself, in the form of a ransom note. While backing up regularly will allow for these files to be recovered, Avast antivirus solutions can also help stop the attack from happening.

In addition to these cyberthreats, Avast Business cybersecurity solutions can help protect against botnetszero-day attacks and SQL injection. Find out more about cybersecurity and common threats in our article “What is Cybersecurity?

What is the difference between personal and business antivirus software?

While both types of antivirus are used to help prevent cyberattacks, there are significant differences between the software used for personal antivirus and commercial antivirus.

Personal cybersecurity focuses on protecting individual devices, while business antivirus must protect a company’s network - where individual devices are referred to as endpoints.

To operate in this way, business security requires an additional level of patch management and tools for monitoring and helping protect multiple devices, as well as cloud and server security.

For personal protection, check out Avast Free Antivirus.

FAQs

As a cloud-based solution, Avast Business Hub needs only to control and monitor your business devices. Our remote IT tool can be used to connect more securely to any PC or Mac with the Avast app installed. Learn more about Avast Business Hub.

Built-in antivirus software has improved greatly over recent years, but should not be used on its own – it does not include the advanced security and online privacy features required for business security.

One of the most important security measures for business users is to ensure that all devices connected to your network are running the latest version of any software and have security patches applied as soon as they are available.

For a small or medium-sized business, the concern is that individuals may not update devices correctly or promptly, creating weak points in your network’s defenses. For larger companies, the same is true but with many more devices to manage.

Patch Management automates this process, scanning connected devices, installing missing patches, and monitoring the system for new updates – simplifying the update process and reducing the hours and cost of reviewing each device manually. Patch Management is included as part of Avast Ultimate Business Security.

Avast Free Antivirus is one of the best free antivirus solutions for personal use. However, as it is not designed for use by organizations, meaning it does not include important business features or endpoint management tools like Patch Management. This need for advanced features is why free antivirus services for businesses will not provide an effective level of protection.

Small business owners may feel that their company is too small to require business antivirus software as they don’t have many devices or believe they are too insignificant to be attacked. But many attack types are speculative and rely on targeting networks with known vulnerabilities – making small business antivirus an essential consideration.

Avast Business offers three solutions depending on the size of your business – Avast Essential Business Security, Avast Premium Business Security, and Avast Ultimate Business Security.
