In order to keep up with the latest advances in information technology and to minimise exposure to the latest security threats, AGD subscribes to a variety of daily email bulletins. Much of the information contained within these bulletins is inappropriate to AGD's business needs and those of the SME community in general. However, sometimes an article of real interest can be found. At AGD we are not in the business of providing an all encompassing news service, but we can act as a filter, and we endeavour to publish only information relevant to organisations with similar needs to ours.
In addition to our website news, AGD distributes a monthly newsletter, free of charge, summarising key articles and developments during the course of the month. Subscribers can elect to receive e-mail by category and can manage their subscription and unsubscribe at any time. To sign up for AGD's Newsletter please click here.
