The Profit in Security



How secure is your company’s data? The internet is a powerful tool, but also opens your company’s data to anyone who can get access to your network.

Over 55 percent of online users report that they have been infected with spyware. Annually, businesses loose £6.6B to malware. Further, it is estimated by leading internet security experts that webpages are infected every 4.5 seconds. As a business owner you could dedicate a team of your employees to securing your network.

A team of employees is very expensive. This is where you need an expert in security and data management, allowing you the freedom to run your business and focus on profit while your IT provider is monitoring, guarding and securing your networks and business critical information.

The following facts are overwhelming to the small and medium business owner:

• Over 97 percent of email received today is SPAM
• The cost of recovering a lost data file (just one) is £80.7
• The average business spends over 20 percent of their total business on IT security

In a 2009 survey undertaken by a leading networking company, it was reported over 65 percent of companies spent “little to no time” managing their security systems (anti-virus, anti-spam, content filtering, VPN, intrusion detection and web usage and bandwidth policies) and of those in the survey, nearly 15 percent spent less than 30 minutes per week managing their IT security. Yet, over 60 percent of all companies in 2008 were victims of phishing, virus attacks or critical data breaches.

Consider the following security options available today:

• Backup and recovery
• System monitoring and patch maintenance
• SPAM reduction
• User security (limited access to non-business sites)

There are many more options available and you do not need to invest in training, certification or new employees to secure and protect your data.
