For those of us that provide Boston IT Managed Services, sometimes you find an article that says it all. We found such an article recently in Network World. Everything you need to know about protecting your business against cyber attacks is in here. More importantly the writer suggests why NOT protecting your data and valuable company information is not an option.
The first two paragraphs should shed enough light on why you need to pay attention and money to protect your customer information, business data and most important your reputation.
No company wants to be the subject of the next headline about a cybersecurity attack or critical data loss. Losing business data or customer information takes a toll on your business’ reputation and its pocketbook. While it is impossible to entirely avoid an attack, there are steps you can take to mitigate the effects.
Ignoring cybersecurity threats and hoping your company isn’t a target is not a good strategy. When an organization experiences a cybersecurity attack, it will incur costs, which organizations need to anticipate even before an attack happens. This calls for framing your cybersecurity strategy from a risk management perspective.
They’ve even included a quiz to test your IT security knowledge. Why not take a few minutes and give it a try.
Not every security threat can be avoided. You’ve got to have a plan to assess your risk and take the necessary steps to avoid as many threats as possible. Make sure you are taking the steps you need to protect your business. It’s never too late to get the Boston Area Tech Support you need.
