When Did You Last Perform A Security Audit?

By Daniel Turbin


For many businessmen and girls around the country, the idea of net security is an obscure one. Sure, sure, you will have spent some money to put a basic system in place , and yes, you could have gotten lucky so far and not been the victim of a hacking attack. The issue is though, do you need your firms continued survival to get left to blind chance?

Would you like to leave the future of the business you've spent hundreds, perhaps thousands of hours nurturing and growing, to get left to Madam Luck? If the answer to that particular question is no, then you need to make the time to concentrate on data integrity, as the statistics are not on your side.

If you don't have a solid system in placeif you don't have that system tested constantly, and ensure that all of the elements that make up the layers of your data integrity are frequently updated, then it is just a question of time till you are hit.

Maybe you will get fortunate. Perhaps they will pass you by, or even if you get hacked, you will be one of the lucky few who don't see much of an impact to your net position, but again, do you truly want to rely on that many 'maybes' all falling into line for you?

Better by a long way to take a pro-active approach. Put a solid system in place ( or at the very least one that you're feeling is solid ), then make preparations to have it stress tested periodically ( most people suggest annually, at a minimum ) to make certain that the protections you have established are up to the job of keeping your business safe.

Defend your business. Defend your data. To do that in the present day's business environment means more than keeping a lock on your door and keeping your insurance paid up. In today's environment, it also suggests making sure you have solid method of protection from hacking prepared.
