Home antivirus is not enough for a business
Many offices still run a home version of antivirus, or a different product on every PC. Nobody can see which computers are protected, which ones stopped updating, or where an attack started.
Business antivirus gives you one console for every device, central policies, alerts when something is found and reports for audits. We help you choose the right brand and tier, install it everywhere, and keep it updated.
- One console to see every PC, laptop and server
- Ransomware protection and USB device control
- Reports for Aramco CCC, NCA ECC and internal audits

| Known for | Strong malware detection and many features in lower tiers | Strong detection with light impact on PC speed | Very light on older PCs, few false alarms | Large companies, servers and hybrid cloud | Large enterprises that already use McAfee or Trellix |
| EDR / XDR option | Yes (EDR Optimum, XDR Expert) | Yes (Premium and Enterprise) | Yes (Advanced and higher, ESET Inspect) | Yes (Vision One XDR) | Yes (Trellix EDR / XDR) |
| Good fit for | Small and mid-size offices that want strong protection at a good price | Offices of any size, including MSP-style management | Offices with older or slower computers | Mid-size and large companies with many servers | Enterprises staying with an existing McAfee or Trellix setup |
| Things to check | Some international groups and projects have rules about this vendor; check yours | Choose the tier carefully; EDR is not in the basic tier | Full EDR needs a higher tier | Higher cost for very small offices | Small offices are usually better served by the other four |
This table is a short guide based on each vendor’s published product range, not a lab test. We recommend the right product after we understand your devices and requirements.

Why it matters for Saudi companies
Ransomware and phishing attacks on Saudi businesses keep growing, and the first line of defence is every computer your staff use.
- Endpoint protection is a basic control in NCA ECC and Aramco CCC assessments
- One unprotected laptop is enough for ransomware to reach your file server
- A central console shows which devices are protected and which need attention
- Business licences include vendor support and updates; home licences do not cover company use
Frequently asked questions
Which is the best antivirus for business in Saudi Arabia?
There is no single best product for every company. Kaspersky, Bitdefender and ESET are popular with small and mid-size offices; Trend Micro (TrendAI) and Trellix are often used by larger companies. We recommend the right one after we understand your devices and requirements.
Is Kaspersky available in Saudi Arabia?
Yes. Kaspersky business products, including Kaspersky Endpoint Security and Kaspersky Next, are sold in Saudi Arabia, and we supply them through our Saudi distributors. Some international groups and projects have their own vendor rules, so check your company or client requirements first.
Kaspersky or Bitdefender: which is better for business?
Both are strong choices for small and mid-size companies. Kaspersky includes many features in its lower tiers; Bitdefender GravityZone is very light on computers and adds patch management. The right choice depends on your devices, servers and any vendor rules from your group or clients. Send us your setup and we will recommend one.
What happened to McAfee for business?
McAfee sold its enterprise business in 2021, and those products are now sold as Trellix. McAfee itself now focuses on home users. If you already use McAfee or Trellix, we can quote the renewal or help you move.
What is the difference between antivirus and EDR?
Antivirus blocks known malware. EDR (endpoint detection and response) also records what happens on each device, so you can see how an attack started and stop it. Most brands include EDR in their higher tiers.
Can you move us from one antivirus to another?
Yes. We remove the old product cleanly, install the new one on every device and check that nothing was missed.
Do you also supply firewalls and backup?
Yes. We supply Fortinet and Sophos firewalls and Veeam backup, so your antivirus, firewall and backups come from one supplier.
