\nwarning to smaller and medium sized businesses as well, not just the Apples
\nand Microsofts of the world. The organization reports that cyber
\nattacks on smaller business entities<\/a> generally end up costing those
\ncompanies an average of about $180,000. More alarmingly the data also reflects
\na devastating trend where 2\/3 of these businesses also end up being forced out
\nof business within the first 6 months following such attacks. Yet the most
\nrecent study by the NCSA still identifies a large amount of complacency
\nregarding the seriousness of the situation. Almost a full 50% of the polled
\nbusinesses stated that hacking incidents were isolated and would not impact
\ntheir own operations.
<\/p>\n
\ndata your business depends on can be compromised with poor WiFi security.
\nThats really it. Hackers are by definition opportunistic in the nature of
\ntheir criminal endeavors. This means that they will compromise a network not
\nbecause it was part of the plan but simply because they happened to stumble
\nacross a poorly protected IT infrastructure. Strong passwords, firewall
\napplications and some antivirus programs offer one layer of protection, but a
\nsolid security strategy requires a multipronged approach that spans both
\nhardware as well as software.
<\/p>\n
\nidentify potential victims it has also become easier for businesses to protect
\nthemselves. Security companies offer protection packages that are tailored to
\nsmall and medium sized operations, as opposed to the elaborate and very
\nexpensive systems implemented at large corporations. EVS understands the need
\nto scale your own security and fraud prevention
\nsystem<\/a> in order to fit the size and scope of your companys operations.
\nSolutions such IdentiFlo<\/a>
\nand IdentiFraud<\/a>
\nID verification and authentication platforms ensure only those people
\nauthorized to access your systems will and more crucially, those people
\nactually are who they tell your network they are!
