December 21, 2018

The year 2017 is turning out to be a year of IT security as there has been a tremendous rise in security attacks. It is anticipated that sophistication of the attack would increase as the attackers have access to latest technology allowing them to avoid detection making no business immune to a security attack.

Small and medium businesses are in grave danger when it comes to protecting themselves from cyber-attack or data breach as they have little or no budget and also they lack access to skilled resources to protect their IT infrastructure from potential attacks.

The smaller businesses are more prone to attacks generated from web, phishing and using social networks. Moreover, because of lack of knowledge and negligence by employees and other stakeholders, there has been an increase in data breaches.

Most of the businesses are worried about their customer data, like personal information, intellectual property, financial information etc. but they lack an appropriate mechanism to protect this data. It is required that business should create strong security policies and strictly enforce the same to avoid business loss.
