AVG's Business Resource Center was designed in response to the AVG SMB Market Landscape Report 2010, which shows that despite the fact that 83 percent of businesses surveyed recognize the need to protect against Internet security threats, a surprisingly high proportion, 1 in 7, are not deploying any IT security solutions. The Resource Center, developed in partnership with GFK Roper, is a one-stop-shop for SMB internet security and anti-virus needs. The site features downloadable AVG Small Business Security Guides that provide SMBs with a blueprint for creating effective, secure business environments. The site also offers a vibrant SMB blog with topical commentary and intelligence on emerging threats.

For those that like to work interactively, the Resource Center offers sales support via phone or email to help SMBs make the right decisions for their businesses. It also provides case studies, downloads and tutorials, many of which are illustrated with instructional videos to bring the online learning experience to life.

"As our research shows, small businesses have a fundamental understanding that Internet security threats can be a hazard to their businesses, but they obviously lack the time or the resources to adequately protect their businesses from cyber criminals who may try to steal valuable company information," said Robert Gorby, Global Head of SMB Propositions, AVG Technologies. "AVG's Small Business Resource Center is designed to educate small- and medium- sized business owners about online threats to their businesses and provide them with a myriad of resources to help protect themselves from these threats."
