AVG Rolls Out Latest Security Package for SMBs

Internet Security Business Edition 9.0 features “faster scan times and resident shield, firewall & data protection with “minimal management resources,” according to the developer.

Security and anti-virus software developer AVG Technology has announced the general availability of its SMB security products, AVG Internet Security Business Edition 9.0 and AVG Anti-Virus Business Edition 9.0.AVG Internet Security Business Edition 9.0 and AVG Anti-Virus Business Edition 9.0

According to a company press release, the new offerings “leverage the significant enhancements in speed and levels of protection that AVG has delivered in its latest generation of consumer products.”†

J.R. Smith, CEO of AVG, says the new SMB solutions provide more powerful and streamlined protection and faster performance “without getting in the way of business.”

“This generation of products is taking AVG back to its core strength of low-impact, high-performance security,” Smith explains, “and adds substantially to the portfolio of measures available to small businesses and their employees in working safe from cyber threats.”

AVG says its SMB solutions offer some of the following characteristics and features:

  • Faster Scan Times. The scan times of Business Edition 9.0 are up to 50 percent faster than earlier versions, says AVG.
  • Both Active and Reactive Technologies. Building on a solid foundation of signature-based protection to deal with known threats, AVG 9.0 adds behavioral, in-the-cloud, and white-listing technologies to manage threats.
  • Resident Shield, Firewall, and Data Protection. The new integration of these three elements enables the modules to share malware information, increasing AVG’s ability to detect and remove most malicious types of malware, rootkits, and other threats for which signatures have not yet been issued.
  • Minimal Management Resources. The new offerings incorporate cloning technology into the deployment process, simplifying and shortening installation time, and new system tools enable administrators to customize the way AVG works to protect the network.
  • Linux-Based Rescue CD. This restores the network in the event an existing infection renders systems unbootable.
  • Third-Party Product Removal. Version 9.0 automatically removes any third-party security application that could cause conflicts and interfere with a running AVG program.

Specific to AVG Internet Security Business Edition 9.0 is the addition of data protection functionality gained through AVG’s acquisition of Sana Security earlier this year. The behavioral technology learns the anomalies within a business network in order to block malicious processes. The new functionality in Identity Protection will catch malicious software trying to hijack a system before it is able to cause any damage.

In addition, the new client e-mail scanner in AVG Anti-Virus Business Edition 9.0 cleans the e-mail system of harmful message attachments and dangerous links, and the new enhanced anti-spam filter prevents phishers, scammers, and spammers from clogging workstations and mail servers. Web shielding technology also minimizes the risk of virus and other rogue software infections when downloading and exchanging files.

AVG Internet Security Business Edition 9.0 and AVG Anti-Virus Business Edition 9.0 are available at resellers worldwide as well as through AVG’s Web site.

Multi-packs are offered in five-seat increments; pricing for a one-year, five-seat license for AVG Internet Security Business Edition 9.0 starts at US $247.99. A one-year, five-seat license for AVG Anti-Virus Business Edition 9.0 starts at US $159.99.
