Mobile Protection

 

As a user of New Business Solutions managed via Business Hub, you will have the possibility to install Avast Mobile Security as well, at no extra charge, and use the same number of seats as you have purchased for your subscription. This means that if you have a subscription for 10 seats with Essential Business Security for instance, you can install Mobile Security on 10 mobile devices.

 

Please note that Mobile Security cannot be managed or monitored from within the Hub but locally, on end devices. You can, however, use the console to send all necessary instructions along with activation codes to users who need to install mobile protection.
