What happens if a competitor gains access to your confidential documents and databases? Do you have a system in place to alert you if there is a security breach? Are you aware of the current security risks to your critical business information? |

These are questions that not only keep you up at night, but also have severe business consequences if ignored. Eighty percent of respondents to the Computer Security Institute's "Computer Crime and Security Survey" suffered financial loss due to computer security breaches in the last year alone. The average loss reported was $723,568. Can you afford not to have a secure system? Businesses have become increasingly more vulnerable as hackers, viruses, and even your employees become more technologically advanced. Cyber attack tools have the deadly combination of being both sophisticated and easy to use. This means that the basic infrastructure security measures that your company has relied on are no longer adequate. Imagine this scenario. After things haven't been working out, you are forced to terminate one of your computer technicians. Angry about the termination, this former employee dials into your computer system from his home PC, uses a coworker's login and password, and gains access to your entire system. This employee then causes your servers to crash, permanently erasing all data on the system. Your company is forced to completely shut down for two days, suffering a $100,000 loss. Sound impossible? This exact scenario happened to publishing giant Forbes, Inc. Infrastructure security breaches can happen to any company. It is not biased to a particular industry, to established companies or startups, to large companies or small. What steps have you taken to secure your infrastructure? |
