Ransomware has become one of the biggest threats that PC, mobile, and even Mac users face. Avast has therefore joined No More Ransom, a project that helps ransomware victims get their encrypted files back, without paying a ransom to the cybercriminals. No More Ransom has four main partners and is supported by law enforcement agencies from around the world.

When we moved the Prague headquarters of Avast to the beautiful new Enterprise Office Center in January 2016, we strived to create a Silicon Valley-style working environment. Popular design ideas, conceived to foster collaboration among individuals and teams, were built into the 15,000 square meter office space. At the opening of the new building, Avast CEO, Vince Steckler said, “Avast has chosen a building that reflects its open, innovative, and inspirational company culture.”

Machines can learn incredibly fast. Faster than us, actually. They are already changing our world, our business, and our life.
