 The creators of one of the world’s leading security and anti-virus software, AVG Technologies, released its latest small business security products, AVG Internet Security Business Edition 9.0 and AVG Anti-Virus Business Edition 9.0 The new releases leverage the significant enhancements in speed and levels of protection delivered by AVG in its latest generation of consumer products, making it safer and easier to manage. By doing this, AVG continues to improve its support for small businesses, many of which have limited or non-existent in-house IT capabilities.
AVG Technologies, Smith, CEO, declared: “AVG’s 9.0 small business solutions provide businesses with more powerful and streamlined protection that deliver improved administration, more robust protection, and faster performance - all without getting in the way of business.” He added: “This generation of products is taking AVG back to its core strength of low impact, high performance security, and adds substantially to the portfolio of measures available to small businesses, and their employees, in working safe from cyber threats.”
Smarter Security That Won’t Slow Your Business Down
AVG speeds up its new product by up to 50 percent faster than earlier versions in order to minimize the impact of protection on productivity. The new software features new intelligent technology which marks files as safe or potentially unsafe during its initial scan, and doesn't scans them in future sesions only if the file structure changes. Being based on a solid foundation of signature-based protection to deal with known threats, AVG 9.0 adds cutting-edge behavioral, in-the-cloud, and white listing technologies for managing the threats posed by the tens of thousands of new viruses that are born every day.
A unique feature is the integration between the Resident Shield, firewall, and data protection modules which enables modules to share malware information, making it possible for AVG to detect and remove most malicious types of malware, rootkits, and other threats for which signatures have not yet been issued. The new firewall firewall application helps to keep business information safe from known and unknown threats while being significantly quieter and less intrusive; the new trusted database of applications and application certificates makes it possible for AVG to determine, without beeing necessary for the user to intervene, the relative safety of any active process and block any deemed unsafe.
The released targeted at small businesses features key enhancements which minimize the management resources required. Making it more simple and short to install, the new offerings incorporate cloning technology into the deployment process and new system tools enable administrators to customize the way AVG works to protect the network.
AVG incorporated data protection functionality gained by making the acquisition of Sana Security earlier this year. The new functionality in Identity Protection (IDP) will catch malicious software trying to hijack a system even if it has not caused any damage yet.
