Data protection does not stop at your own device. Every day, we share our data with online retailers, banks, and social networks. This makes these sites particularly vulnerable to data leaks and attractive to hackers. Instead of relying on companies to reliably fulfill their privacy obligations in the event of a data breach, Avast offers Breach Guard internet protection. This way, everyone has their personal data in their own hands.

The program constantly monitors whether data from a site has leaked and helps secure the data in the event of a breach. Additionally, the software assists in preventing companies from collecting data from the very beginning. Thus, Avast Breach Guard also protects against data brokers. These companies create profiles of online users, including their addresses, health status, and even financial data, and sell this information to third parties. Avast users receive helpful tips for adjusting their privacy settings.

With over 400 million users and more than 30 years of experience, Avast is one of the most competent and largest security companies in the world. They support both businesses and private households with their unique cloud-based security infrastructure. This infrastructure monitors all activities on the internet – including the shady ones. This allows them to detect potential threats early and provide necessary security solutions quickly. As a result, 1.5 billion attacks are thwarted each month. With an international research team, they are continually working to ensure that excellent, innovative cyber security is available in the future.
