Why Do You Need AmviaIQ?
AmviaIQ gives UK businesses continuous visibility into their network health and security posture. Without it, most SMEs have no way of knowing whether their connectivity is degrading, their devices are misbehaving, or an attacker is moving laterally across their network.
Direct Answer
AmviaIQ is AMVIA's network monitoring and analytics platform, built for UK SMEs who need enterprise-grade visibility without an in-house IT team. It monitors connectivity performance, device health, and security events across your business network in real time, surfacing anomalies before they become outages or breaches. For managed service clients, AmviaIQ feeds directly into AMVIA's support operations, meaning issues are often identified and resolved before a user notices anything is wrong.
What AmviaIQ Monitors and Why It Matters
AmviaIQ covers the four areas most likely to cause unplanned disruption or security exposure for an SME.
Connectivity Performance
Tracks latency, packet loss, and throughput across your WAN links. Identifies degradation before it affects calls, cloud applications, or remote workers.
Device Health
Monitors endpoints, switches, and access points for unusual resource usage, offline status, or configuration drift. Reduces the risk of silent hardware failures.
Security Anomaly Detection
Flags unusual traffic patterns, unexpected outbound connections, and lateral movement indicators. Supports early detection of threats that traditional antivirus can miss.
Reporting and Audit Trail
Provides historical data on network events and security incidents. Useful for internal reviews, supplier disputes, and demonstrating due diligence.
Proactive Support Integration
AMVIA's support team receives real-time alerts from AmviaIQ, allowing them to investigate and remediate issues often without waiting for a helpdesk call.
Capacity Planning
Trend data helps identify when a circuit, site, or device is approaching its limits, so upgrades are planned rather than reactive.

Frequently Asked Questions
The first hour after detection is considered the golden hour that determines outcome severity. Organisations that detect breaches internally save an average of $900,000 in costs. Only 22% of UK businesses have a formal cybersecurity incident management plan in place.
MFA requires two or more verification methods to access an account. Microsoft reports that over 99.9% of compromised accounts did not have MFA enabled. Only 40% of UK businesses have two-factor authentication enabled (DSIT 2025). MFA can prevent more than 99.9% of account compromise attempts.
The top threats are phishing (85% of breaches), ransomware (doubled year-on-year), business email compromise (increased 33% in 2025), and supply chain attacks (35.5% of all breaches now originate from third parties). AI-powered attacks are accelerating all of these threat categories.
The average cost of the most disruptive breach is £3,550 for UK businesses. For businesses that experienced negative outcomes such as data loss or financial theft, the average cost rises to £8,260. Medium and large businesses face average costs of £10,830 per disruptive incident.
Organisations with Cyber Essentials certification are 92% less likely to make a claim on their cyber insurance. Certification is mandatory for UK government contracts involving sensitive data. Only 3% of UK businesses are currently certified, giving certified businesses a competitive advantage.
