In short: Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, also listed as Webroot SecureAnywhere Business Endpoint Protection, is cloud-managed antivirus and anti-malware for Windows and macOS devices and Windows servers. It uses real-time cloud threat intelligence, a light agent and Evasion Shield script protection. Forever Systems licenses it per device, billed monthly.
What Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is Webroot's core product for organisations: anti-malware and threat prevention for laptops, desktops and servers, managed entirely from the cloud. You will also see the fuller name, Webroot SecureAnywhere Business Endpoint Protection, on licences and in documentation; it is the same product.
Rather than relying on large signature files downloaded to every device, the agent checks files and behaviour against Webroot's cloud threat intelligence in real time, combined with machine learning and behaviour-based analysis. That keeps the agent small, means devices are protected from the latest intelligence as soon as they are online, and avoids the heavy scheduled scans that users notice. Protection covers threats arriving by email attachments and links, web browsing, downloads and removable media such as USB drives.
Key capabilities
| Capability | What it does |
|---|---|
| Real-time threat prevention | Blocks malware and ransomware using cloud threat intelligence and behavioural analysis |
| Evasion Shield | Detects and blocks file-based and fileless script attacks, including malicious JavaScript, VBScript, PowerShell and macros, with allow-listing for legitimate scripts |
| Web protection | Warns about and blocks malicious websites and downloads |
| Cloud management console | Webroot Management Console with sites, groups and policies, system status and remediation workflows |
| Integrations | Connects with common RMM and PSA tools used by IT teams |
| Compatibility | Designed not to conflict with other security software, so it can be deployed without reimaging |
Detection and response option: Webroot Core Endpoint Detection and Response is available as a per-device add-on on the same account, for organisations that want detection and response alongside prevention. Webroot's public product pages do not set out its features in detail, so we confirm current capabilities and platform support before you order.
How it is licensed
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is licensed per device. Each workstation, laptop or server running the agent uses one licence.
| Item | Licensing unit | Notes |

| Core Endpoint Detection and Response | Per device | Add-on to Endpoint Protection |
| DNS Protection | Per device | Add-on to Endpoint Protection |

We bill monthly on your Forever Systems invoice and reconcile device counts so you are not paying for machines you have retired. Pricing depends on device numbers and the add-ons you choose; ask us for a quote.
Requirements and deployment
Webroot publishes its supported platforms, which currently include:
- Windows desktops: Windows 10 and Windows 11 (Windows 8.1 is also listed)
- macOS: recent releases on Apple silicon and Intel Macs
- Windows Server: 2019, 2022 and 2025, including Standard, Datacenter and Essentials editions
- Virtual environments on VMware, Citrix, Hyper-V and VirtualBox, with specific versions listed by Webroot
The agent can be deployed with an installer, through Group Policy or with your RMM or device management tool, and there is no on-premises management server. We check your estate against the current list before we order, because support for older operating systems changes over time.
Who it suits and how we help
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection suits organisations that want dependable prevention with minimal impact on older or lower-specification devices, and a console simple enough for a small IT team. It is also a good fit where you plan to add DNS filtering and staff training from the same vendor. Endpoint protection is one of the controls assessed for Cyber Essentials.
We deploy the agent, set policies by site or group, remove conflicting products, and keep an eye on alerts and licence counts. Compare it with other endpoint protection products, or go back to the Webroot overview.
