To protect your business against the latest external threats and internal miss-use of the Internet, you need to look at the ways in which your business could be at risk.
Here are some real world examples of how your network could become compromised.
- No Anti-Virus/SPAM Filtering on company email.
- Staff with access to personal email using company equipment.
- Free unfiltered reign over the whole Internet at your workplace.
- No or out of date Anti-Virus/Spyware on your desktops, and laptops.
- Weak or no passwords on external services.
- Slow access because of Illegal or Inappropriate downloading of pictures, movies, music, etc.
- Breach of ISP Terms and Conditions for excessive usage.
If your company relied on the Internet to do business you could soon find yourself, disconnected from customers and suppliers.
