No Matter The Size Of Your Business, Network Security Is A Definite Requirement
When it comes to network security, it is easy for small to medium-sized businesses to say, “Not me,” “They are only after the big guys.” The reality is that attacks on all networks have been increasing year after year as hackers have become more sophisticated, and small businesses are being affected every day by relaxed or non-existent security policies.
A 2013 study showed that 1 in every 5 small businesses networks would be compromised. With ever-increasing technological advances, it is likely that since then, these numbers have climbed, posing a significant risk for a potential breach, lost or stolen data, or some type of malicious threat.
There Are A Number Of Ways Alpha & Omega Computer Consultants Helps To Ensure That You Are At Minimum Risk
- Updates
Keeping computers and network equipment updated is one of the most effective steps to preventing a possible network security issue. - Firewall
A common mistake in small to medium business networks is the lack of a business-grade firewall solution. Often business owners are unaware of the difference between having a network router and having a network firewall in place. - Passwords
Password and password protection are proving to be an area that needs attention when discussing network se.0curity. Using sophisticated software and tools, hackers are easily gaining access to small business networks through simple or default passwords.
