Security is more important today than it has ever been. When the security of your network is breached the results can be devastating. What would happen to your business if someone were to gain access to your sensitive data? Do you store personal information about your customers and associates, social security numbers, credit card numbers, home addresses, trade secrets? What would happen to your business's reputation or the value of your publicly traded stock if this information was used by identity thieves or if a hacker revealed this information to the press, your customers or your competitors? How costly would it be to recover if all your data were destroyed by a malicious attack? Think your company is too small to be the target of attack? Think again. Large companies have full time staff devoted to nothing but maintaining security. Would be intruders know that many small and medium businesses don't understand security and frequently fail to take necessary measures to protect themselves. They go for the path of least resistance and all too often that path is an unprotected small business network. When it comes to securing your network and protecting your sensitive and valuable information there are several steps that must be taken. Developing a comprehensive plan for security requires a defense in depth strategy. There is no one piece of hardware or software that alone will do the job. Firewalls, software security patches, password policies, encryption technology, physical security, user training and virus-protection are just a few of the steps that can be taken. Furthermore, security planned in a vacuum is doomed to be ineffective. The first step to developing an effective plan is to analyze the threats posed both internally and externally and to take into consideration the nature of the data that needs protecting and the particular needs of your business.
