Securing your small business is essential – not just for your peace of mind, but also for your employees, customers and partners. Norton Small Business equips you with the tools you need to protect up to 20 employees – not just their computers, but their business data too. This solution is tailored for smaller companies and organisations that don’t have the resources to invest in an expensive, multi-layered security system or to employ an IT specialist or cybersecurity expert.

Norton Small Business is designed to be simple to use while offering comprehensive protection from a single product.  At its heart is Device Security, which provides always-on antivirus protection for each employee business device. It’s powered by Norton’s renowned security tools, including AI-powered protection against scams. Device Security also includes a powerful firewall to protect your business’s Windows and Mac computers from online attacks.

In addition, your employees can access the web more securely with the Norton Private Browser, which continuously monitors for potential scams and browser hijacks.  There’s also secure online storage for your business’s files, courtesy of Norton Cloud Backup – 250 GB with Norton Small Business, and 500 GB with Norton Small Business Premium. This continuously backs up your critical business data in the background to protect it against theft, hardware failure, and other threats.

Norton Small Business also comes with tools to help maintain your business’s Windows PCs. Software Updater helps ensure they’re kept fully patched against software vulnerabilities, while Utilities Ultimate is included as a standalone tool to help manage – and remove – junk and unnecessary apps that might otherwise slow them down and reduce productivity.

The Premium version of Norton Small Business includes additional safeguards to help protect against potential reputational and financial damage from cyberattacks. The first is Financial Monitoring, which can alert you to suspicious – and potentially fraudulent – activity on your business bank account. In addition, Social Media Monitoring works similarly to alert you to any attempts to hijack your social media accounts. 

Norton Small Business Premium also includes 24/7 Business Tech support, which offers help up to 5 times a year to remove viruses and get answers to common tech issues. There’s also Norton Secure VPN, which is perfect for employees who need to work remotely. The VPN provides secure internet access from any network, including public Wi-Fi hotspots. Last, but by no means least, Driver Updater helps to keep your hardware

Everything is managed from a single application that provides your employees with a user-friendly home screen to review their security and access all Norton Small Business’s core features. There are individual sections for its integrated security, performance, and privacy tools, along with convenient links to the suite’s standalone apps, such as Norton Private Browser and Norton Utilities Ultimate.

This version includes a 120-Device, 1-Year license. This means you can use this licence to activate twenty different employee devices (a mix of PC, Mac, iOS, Android) across your network, for one year. You also receive 500GB of cloud backup storage which can be shared across each device.
