Why Security DOES matter for your Business!!
One of the biggest problems in computer security is that people have trouble believing that anything bad can happen to them - but in reality it does! The truth is that bad things do happen and they happen more often than you might like to think.
Many small to medium sized businesses believe that they do not need to worry much about security. Because they think with the notion that, "why would anybody want to target my business when there are so many bigger targets out there?" While it is true that these smaller to medium sized businesses are not directly attacked as often as the larger ones, there are 3 flaws with this way of thinking.
Flaw 1
Small to medium sized businesses often end up as part of larger attacks, such as mass worm outbreaks.
Flaw 2
Because security is becoming tighter than ever at larger companies, smaller business networks look increasingly tempting to attackers.
Flaw 3
And most important flaw of all, everybody assumes that all attacks come from the outside!
When you are misfortune enough to have had your network security breached, recovery usually takes considerable time and effort.
- Imagine if your computer systems were unavailable for a long period of time.
- Imagine if you lost all the data stored on all the computers in your company.
- Imagine if your worst competitor was able to obtain a list of your customers, along with sales figures and sales notes.
How long would it take before you noticed? What would these breaches cost your company? Could you afford these losses?
