Frequently asked questions
What does Malwarebytes ThreatDown protect against?
Vendor pages describe real-time protection from viruses, ransomware, Trojans, botnets, spyware, phishing and malicious websites, plus Browser Guard ad and scam blocking, an optional no-log privacy VPN and identity theft protection on higher tiers. It runs on Windows, Mac, Android and iOS, and the small-business offering is marketed as needing no IT skills.
How is Malwarebytes ThreatDown priced?
Plans are annual and device-based. Consumer Standard starts at $59.99/yr for three devices and rises as VPN and identity features are added; small-business plans cover 3, 10 or 20 devices with list prices shown at checkout, and MSP/endpoint (EP/EDR) tiers are quoted rather than published. A 60-day money-back guarantee applies to annual plans.
Does it integrate with our existing security tooling?
Yes. ThreatDown documents RMM/PSA integrations (ConnectWise, Kaseya, Datto, Atera, Syncro, SuperOps, Octoja), SIEM integrations (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Google Chronicle) and SOAR integrations (Splunk Phantom, Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR). Open APIs let technology partners build on its cloud EP and EDR products.
What support is included with the plans?
The vendor advertises free customer support, 24/7 human support and a 60-day money-back guarantee on annual plans. The pages reviewed do not spell out which channels (phone, chat, ticket) exist or which plans include them, so confirm the exact support model for a business rollout during evaluation.
How quickly can we deploy it?
Malwarebytes is distributed as a direct download for Windows and Mac and through the Microsoft, Apple and Google app stores, and the small-business product is positioned as requiring no IT skills. Expect same-day protection on individual devices, with larger fleet rollouts scripted through RMM tools.
Does Malwarebytes publish SOC 2, ISO 27001 or FedRAMP certifications?
We found no SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA or FedRAMP claims on the vendor security, trust or about pages reviewed. Treat the product as lacking published enterprise compliance attestations until Malwarebytes confirms the scope of any certifications in writing for your region and plan.
