Small Business Network Security

New security issues such as viruses, hackers, and worms come to light in news articles every day and underline the importance of taking preventative measures.

These are serious threats with serious consequences. Yet, many small businesses have not taken the steps to safeguard their businesses. In some cases, it's a matter of limited resources. But, in most cases, small business owners are simply unclear as to what steps they should take or even where to start.

Believe it or not, most big company security break-ins involve your employees. SurfControl, a web and email filtering company, indicates 80% of all security breach incidents occur from within an organization. This conjures an image of the bitter employee sitting in a back room creating a sinister plot or virus to bring the company's operations to a grinding halt.

Think of all the people inside the company who have ready access to customer, employee, product and financial data. These same people also have instant access to the Internet. How easy is it for a call center representative to e-mail confidential customer data to a competitor? Or for a software engineer to send source code out along with his résumé? And what's to stop an administrative employee from leaking quarterly earnings via instant messaging?

There is no fool-proof method to ensure total security without unplugging your connection to the internet. Given the frequency with which new viruses are introduced, it seems impossible to keep up 100%. There will always be new threats. The important thing is to have a plan in place for dealing with them.
