AVG 9.0 Business Security Offerings Deliver Industrial-Strength Protection<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Smarter technology, faster scanning and improved ease-of-use mark latest release AVG 9.0 business solutions\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Melbourne, 28 October 2009<\/strong> \u2013 AVG (AU\/NZ) Pty Ltd, the Australia, New Zealand and South Pacific distributor of the award-winning AVG Anti-Virus and Internet Security products, today announced the general availability of AVG\u2019s latest small business security products, AVG Internet Security Business Edition 9.0<\/strong> and AVG Anti-Virus Business Edition 9.0<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new offerings leverage the significant enhancements in speed and levels of protection that AVG has delivered in its latest generation of consumer products, making it safer and easier to manage. With this announcement, AVG continues to improve its support for small businesses, many of which have limited or non-existent in-house IT capabilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe AVG 9.0 small business security solutions provide businesses with more powerful and streamlined protection that deliver improved administration, more robust protection, and faster performance \u2014 all without getting in the way of business,\u201d said Lloyd Borrett, Marketing Manager at AVG (AU\/NZ). \u201cThis generation of products highlights AVG\u2019s core strength of low impact, high performance security. AVG 9.0 SMB products add substantially to the portfolio of measures available to small businesses and their employees in working safe from cyber threats.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

This release also comes with substantial price reductions. AVG has simplified its business software line-up, plus reduced prices. \u201cThe strengthening Australian dollar has also enabled us to reduce local pricing,\u201d said Borrett. \u201cThe combination means massive savings for our business customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0Smarter Security That Won\u2019t Slow Your Business Down<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

To minimise the impact of protection on productivity, AVG\u2019s small business solutions now offer scan times that are up to 50 percent faster than earlier versions, depending on system configuration. The combined anti-virus\/anti-spyware scanner employs new intelligent technology which marks files as safe or potentially unsafe during its initial scan, and ignores them in future scans unless the file structure changes. In addition, to counteract the increasing threats in today\u2019s online world, AVG\u2019s small business solutions combine both reactive and proactive technologies to deliver optimised protection in real-time.\u00a0 Building on a solid foundation of signature-based protection to deal with known threats, AVG 9.0 adds cutting-edge behavioural, in-the-cloud and white listing technologies to manage the threats posed by the tens of thousands of new threats that appear daily.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Make the Internet Safer for Your Business, Your Staff and Your Customers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Revolutionary in the AVG Internet Security offerings is the integration between the Resident Shield, Firewall, and Data Protection modules. This enables modules to share malware information, increasing AVG\u2019s ability to detect and remove most malicious types of malware, rootkits and other threats for which signatures have not yet been issued.\u00a0 The redesigned firewall application assists in keeping business information safe from known and unknown threats and is significantly quieter and less intrusive.\u00a0 The enhanced Firewall\u2019s trusted database of applications and application certificates enables AVG to determine, without user intervention, the relative safety of any active process and block any deemed unsafe. Additionally, because the new firewall cooperates behind the scenes with AVG\u2019s unique behavioural detection technology, it delivers significantly enhanced accuracy of threat detection.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Takes Care of Security While You Take Care of Business<\/strong><\/p>\n

AVG 9.0 for small business also includes key enhancements to minimise the management resources required. The new offerings incorporate cloning technology into the deployment process, simplifying and shortening installation time, and new system tools to enable administrators to customise the way AVG works to protect the network.<\/p>\n

The new Update Manager automatically makes sure the business is always protected against the latest threats and the new Linux-based Rescue CD restores the network in the event an existing infection renders systems unbootable. Finally, AVG has made it significantly easier to detect and remove any third-party security product that could cause conflicts and interfere with the user\u2019s level of protection.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Keep Uninvited Guests Out of Your Office<\/strong><\/p>\n

Specific to AVG Internet Security Business Edition 9.0 is the addition of data protection functionality gained through AVG\u2019s acquisition of Sana Security earlier this year. The behavioural technology learns the DNA of a business\u2019 network so that it can recognise anomalies and block malicious processes, which dramatically improves protection against keyloggers and other crimeware. The new functionality in IDP will catch malicious software trying to hijack a system before it is able to cause any damage.\u00a0 To improve ease of use and administrator experience, Identity Protection (IDP) is manageable from the administrator\u2019s console or can be completely silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition, the client email scanner in AVG Internet Security Business Edition 9.0 cleans the email system of harmful message attachments and dangerous links. The enhanced client and server based anti-spam filters combine to prevent phishers, scammers and spammers from clogging workstations and email servers. Web shielding technology also minimises the risk of virus and other rogue software infections when downloading and exchanging files.<\/p>\n
