Is your website and information secure?

June 26, 2009 | By John Barrow In Home Office, IT Management, Small Business |

Your data may cost you business.

You are only as strong as your weakest link. Now, consider the possible threats to your business or your information. Surely you put a lock on your door and perhaps have a security system at your home or office, but do you know how secure your data really is? Chances are, you don’t exercise the same vigilence on your website or your servers as you do when you leave your car and lock the door. Do you have an IT person focused on log management, threat management or malware detection for your systems?

An emerging trend to consider is to outsource security management. You really need a partner focused on analysis, security architecture and strategic planning.

Have a Web site that needs monitoring? Companies like Tech-Flo can monitor your site should it appear on a blacklist, alert you instantly if there is malware activity on your site, and automatically quarantine a malware infection discovered by its monitoring service.

Security is a necessary tool and like any other tool, it’s only as good as the person, or the organization, that uses it. Smart companies and home office customers outsource IT management, IT security and Information Security to companies like Tech-Flo to audit and secure their IT assets. For the small business owners here in Southern California, we find that our clients are asking us to supplement their existing staff while freeing them to do the things that probably are not getting done. I hope you find this advice of value and you take steps to assure that your information is secure.
