Keep your business secure

Avast Small Office Protection is a security and privacy program that enables you to protect your business online without much hassle. A product of Avast, this antivirus software is an all-in-one security solution designed for small-time businesses that operate online most of the time. It’s meant to easy to use for any type of business or situation and versatile enough that any setup regarding operating systems or platforms won’t prove to be an issue.

Commonly for small organizations

Avast or Avast Software is a multinational cybersecurity company that’s famous for its Avast Antivirus family of cross-platform internet security programs. There are various products under this series that cater to different types of users and even organizations. One such software is Avast Small Office Protection, which is great for small online businesses or offices that require a capable security program to cover their backs. This tool offers robust real-time protection against ransomware and modern cyberattacks for all of the office’s registered devices.

Its core function is to prevent data breaches and safeguard your customer data and sensitive information from any malicious intent. With its next-generation protection features, you can easily run and launch this program even without any IT experience or IT expert around—whether for the initial installation or the day-to-day operations. Since the scope of its coverage is small, this is an ideal setup. However, that doesn’t mean that its features are lacking compared to Avast’s other products. 

It comes with multi-OS support for advanced endpoint security for all of your employees’ devices—although it cannot be installed on server operating systems. The software license covers up to 10 devices only and can’t be upgraded via another subscription plan. However, mobile devices are supported under this license. Additionally, it offers business-grade tech support via email, chat, or call so the lack of IT manpower in your business wouldn’t be too much of a problem.

Still powerful and versatile

It’s available on PC and mobile but there are some differences between each platform and supported operating system. This version of Avast Small Office Protection has 7 shields: Ransomware Shield, Remote Access Shield, Web Shield, Email Shield, File Shield, Sensitive Data Shield, and Webcam Shield. They’re all specific in their functions but they’re generally designed to block viruses, spyware, and other threats in real-time. Aside from that, it has a customizable advanced firewall that can filter network traffic and stop untrusted connections.

Alongside that feature, you get a Wi-Fi Inspector that can find and fix network weaknesses, a Phishing Net that uses a cloud database to detect the latest phishing sites, and even a Real-Site Inspector that verifies website authenticity. These features allow your organization to safely bank online from any device. You can use this security program to test dubious files, too. Its Sandbox function provides a safe testing environment that won’t affect your device. Plus, its Data Shredder tool can permanently delete confidential files.

This software solution can also be used alongside other antivirus programs, thanks to its Passive Mode. In case you already have an Avast Business product without the Business Hub, it will simply automatically detect the version and upgrade the existing installation to Small Office Protection. All of these features not only elevate your business’ security level but also boost employee performance and productivity. You can simply focus on the work ahead without worrying about how secure your devices and data are.

An all-in-one security choice

All in all, Avast Small Office Protection is a perfect fit for small-time online businesses. It’s user-friendly with its minimal need for maintenance and is also highly cost-effective with the variety of features available for its supported platforms. While you can’t upgrade the device number limit since it only offers one license plan, it’s still compatible with both PC and mobile devices—making it highly versatile for office work.
