In today's business world, there is nothing as essential as small business security. Your network provides access to critical applications, and houses sensitive company and customer data. A single network security breach can shut down your operations for days, or allow a hacker to steal vital business data. The FBI estimates that US businesses lose US$67.2 billion annually due to computer-related crime.

Small business networks face constant threats from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, spyware, zero-day attacks, and more. Achieving effective network security for small business requires a solution that's designed to fit your needs today and can adapt to tomorrow's security threats.

"Creating a security solution is a lot like picking items from a menu, it all depends on your company's needs."

— Craig Martin, security solutions architect for Sentinel Technologies

Types of Threats

Viruses, spyware, and malware

These malicious programs can install themselves through e-mail and visits to Websites, and can record passwords, or troll through files for credit card, bank account, and other sensitive information. The use of Websites to host malicious code is exploding, and makes small business security especially vulnerable. Antivirus vendor, Sophos, reported that it was identifying 30,000 new malicious Websites per day. These malicious Websites—as well as many legitimate sites that were infected with malicious code—infect millions of users each year.
