Which version of Avast is best suited for a business?
Choosing the Avast Business version that best suits your business will depend on your security requirements, your preferred level of management and your budget.
Avast Essential Business Security provides essential, reliable protection to safeguard your business against all types of malware, with a centralised management console.
Avast Premium Business Security includes all the features of Avast Essential Business Security, plus Avast VPN, USB protection and web filtering, allowing you to block certain categories of websites.
Avast Ultimate Business Security is the most comprehensive version, as it includes all the features of Avast Premium Business Security, plus the patch manager, which enables you to keep all your software up to date and prevent ransomware attacks via potential security vulnerabilities.
Depending on your needs and budget, you can choose between Essential, Premium or Ultimate protection for enhanced security.
Is Avast Business suitable for micro-businesses, SMEs or large organisations?
Avast Business is currently used by all types of businesses with between 2 and 5,000 workstations. Thanks to its good value for money (or features-to-price ratio), Avast Business is the ideal solution for SMEs or businesses with a limited IT budget. Its intuitive management console and the ease of installation also make Avast Business the best antivirus solution for businesses that do not have a dedicated IT department.
Advanced reporting, deployment and security strategy features also enable IT specialists and large organisations to protect their IT infrastructure with Avast Business.
How does centralised management via Avast Business Hub work?
The Avast Business Hub centralised management console is a cloud-based console that allows you to deploy the Avast security agent to all your endpoints remotely, monitor security status in real time, schedule antivirus scans, receive alerts in the event of threats or non-compliance, and apply customised security policies by group, site or customer.
Avast Business Hub, with Avast Business Cloud Backup, also allows you to automate your cloud backup schedule and easily restore your backups in the event of an incident.
You can also remotely take control of one of the workstations you manage in order to carry out maintenance, install software or restart the workstation, using Avast Business Remote Control.
Finally, thanks to Avast Business Patch Management, you can set up a flexible schedule for deploying software patches. You can customise the patches and obtain a comprehensive audit of the software installed on your devices. Thanks to versioning, you can also easily roll back a software update if it causes a device to crash.

Does Avast Business offer protection against targeted ransomware and phishing?
Yes. All three versions of Avast Business include robust anti-ransomware protection that blocks suspicious behaviour and prevents the unauthorised encryption of your sensitive files.
Avast Business detects phishing sites, targeted campaigns and fraudulent emails in real time, even those not yet listed in the antivirus databases.
Avast Business has recently introduced enhanced defences against ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) attacks and spear phishing.
As soon as a new threat is detected, real-time, cloud-based updates are carried out to respond as quickly as possible to newly discovered threats.
Is it possible to monitor multiple sites or clients from a single interface?
Yes, it is entirely possible to manage multiple sites or multiple customers from a single Avast Business Hub console. This feature enables IT service providers and Avast resellers to manage protection for all their customers from a single management console.
