The released - AVG Small Office Security – www.avg.com/retail

 In the face of rising cyber threats that specifically target small businesses, AVG has released a security suite dedicated exclusively for small offices. And the need is rising. www.avg.com/retail

 

• Research from internet services provider Beaming revealed two thirds of USA companies, employing between 10 and 49 people, fell victim to some form of cyber-crime last year.
• The average cost of cyber-attacks on small businesses amounted to $65,000 per victim in damaged assets, financial penalties and business downtime.
• This puts the total bill of cyber-crime across all US small businesses in 2018 at an estimated $13.6 billion.

 

Of course, these are US figures only but it's near enough the same figure where ever you look.

The 2018 State of Cybersecurity in Small and Medium Size Businesses study, conducted by the Ponemon Institute in the US, revealed that 67 per cent of small businesses experienced a cyberattack during 2018 and 58 per cent experienced a data breach in the same period. www.avg.com/retail

 

In the same study, only 28% rated their ability to mitigate threats, vulnerabilities, and attacks as highly effective.

 

Under attack

 

Attacks on small businesses take many forms but typically consist of phishing, advanced malware, zero-day and ransomware attacks.

 

• Many companies do not understand how to secure their business and contain attacks.
• The issue is further exacerbated by small business employees who bring their own devices to work, which is often expectant but also increases the attack surface.

 

Some companies use third-party safety providers but these can be a costly option for many small businesses. Alternatively, other options can be complex and challenging to implement and manage. This is because these solutions have usually been developed from enterprise level products. avg.com/retail

 

Small Office Security

 

AVG Small Office Security, designed for up to 50 users, successfully addresses these issues.

• It provides advanced, award-winning, antimalware protection which is further bolstered by machine-learning-based malware detection. This layered approach provides the ultimate in defences against malware.
• It has been developed from the ground up specifically for AVG small offices, so ease-of-use and simple management are central features.
• Management is via a cloud-based portal. Any employee can administer up to 50 devices via the portal. They don't need to be technical whiz kids, they just need to familiarize themselves with the interface which can be achieved in minutes.

 

Comprehensive management

Despite its simplicity, AVG Small Office Security delivers sweepingly comprehensive management.

 

• Easy deployment: A company administrator easily emails employees from the portal and they click on a link and register without the need for any credentials to be entered. This includes preset workstations as well as personal mobile devices.
• Secure mobile working: Devices are fully protected enabling employees in the field to go securely about their business. Missing devices can be located and remotely locked or wiped.
• Remote management: AVG Small Office Security provide an instant 360-degree view of device safety status, which in turn enable remote actions such as applying updates, disabling, enabling and restart devices as well as the administration of quarantined files.
• Red flags: Malware infection spread rapidly and persons such as ransomware can take businesses down in seconds. Alert systems provide instant notification about protection events allowing instant remedial action, ensuring the company is not held hostage by cyber criminals.

 

Users can also block malicious websites, phishing emails and browser plug-ins and extensions that are known to be dangerous, keeping the company and employs safe from harmful downloads. A feature called group settings can be used to stop suspicious websites and server hosts from causing harm to the company network and individual endpoints. 

 

And when a worker leaves or joins the company, the pertinent compute device is simply disabled via the portal, while protection for new employee devices is just as simply enabled.

 

In summary, AVG Small Office Security makes it simple for small businesses to stop professional cybercriminals from gaining access to their company's data, intellectual property, and funds.
