The Guru improves efficiency up to 75% using CloudCare’s security services

The Guru, a Southern California managed IT and security firm founded by Richard Papasian, needed a single, easy-to-manage solution to proactively secure SMB clients on tight budgets. To simplify service delivery and provide enterprise-grade protection for small businesses, The Guru adopted Avast Business CloudCare (CloudCare) as its all-in-one security platform.

Using Avast’s CloudCare console, The Guru centrally manages AV, content filtering and remote support, with real-time alerts and remote remediation; this has saved 15–20 hours per week and improved efficiency by 50–75%. Those gains have allowed The Guru to perform more system upgrades, pursue larger accounts, and deliver stronger client outcomes—demonstrating measurable business impact from Avast.
