Data Security Does Not Matter in Small Business IT - Or Does it?
Data reveals Small Businesses are Extra Vulnerable
Smaller Connecticut companies seem to believe, on average, that they aren't as susceptible to insider attacks and security breaches as large fortune 500 conglomerates. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. Any company, regardless of size, that has confidential or sensitive data tucked away in information technology systems is at risk.
As one of Fairfield County's leading Tech Support firms we often experience situations where small businesses loose important data from unauthorized activities. Our security network assessment gives you an in-depth review of your network and how to better secure it from damaging malicious activities.
A recent Dark Reading article by Ericka Chickowski titled "Top 10 Security Mistakes SMBs Make." highlights this quite well. The article starts out with my favorite line "A lot of the cascading technical and process deficiencies at SMBs stem from the fundamental belief that security doesn't matter because their firm is too small to worry about it." and goes on to remind us that "First of all, on the compliance front SMBs are not likely to get a pass from regulators because their organization only has 10 employees."
So, at least when it comes to security threats and potential compliance audit failures, size doesn't matter and you should ask us to help you evaluate your IT vulnerabilities as quickly as possible arrive at a customized Unified Threat Management (UTM) plan.
The following diagram shows some of the attack vectors and lays out a rough sketch of possible protection measures.. Please call today (203) 349-8047 Ext. 211. Don't delay, your data security is at stake.
