Microsoft Security Essentials for Small Business
Eric Ligman announced today that Microsoft Security Essentials will be available to small business for free in October. I use Microsoft Security Essentials on all the machines in my house and it’s saved our bacon a number of times. Check out Eric’s post on the solution for small business and the other options that are available.
Announcing: Microsoft Security Essentials available FREE to Small Businesses in October!
Here is some great news for all of the small businesses out there from Microsoft that I am very happy to be able to tell you about!
As we all know, small businesses are under incredible pressure to:
- Reduce operating costs
- Improve productivity
- Grow their business
- Do all of this in a very challenging economic climate
It’s also no secret that most small businesses today do not have a dedicated IT professional on staff to manage their IT resources (which you may recall is why we originally launched the Small Business Specialist Community of partners worldwide). Small business owners and employees are focused on running their business, not managing complicated IT infrastructure.
For those reasons, we are extremely excited today to let you know that Microsoft is making its Microsoft Security Essentials available to small businesses on up to 10 PCs for FREE, beginning in early October! By providing Microsoft Security Essentials to small businesses free of charge, Microsoft extends its commitment to help these companies save money and grow their business by offering no-cost protection from viruses, spyware and other malicious threats.
