Have We Gone Too Far?

Good day,

 

Over the past several months, we have discussed the increasing risk of cyber attacks on small and midsize businesses.  Maybe, we have gone too far. Maybe, the on-going warnings sound like fear-mongering. So let's take a step back from the hype and hyperbole, and take a pragmatic view.

 

Sound business practices, not fear, should be your motivation to protect against cyber attacks.

 

Here are some resources that offer information and guidance:

  • Our May 3T@3 Webcast, Streamlining Security, identifies the most common and most costly cyber attacks targeting small businesses and outlines solutions at little or no cost. 
  • We cover this information in a recent blog post as well. 
  • For a limited time, you can request a free Rapid Security Assessment. Complete a 3 minute survey and we will identify gaps and affordable solutions.
