"Gartner [top research and advisory firm] says smaller companies particularly lack the security expertise necessary to fend off computer attackers. Its research suggests that, without taking immediate steps to remedy the situation, 50 percent of these businesses will be the victim of a successful hack or a damaging virus outbreak in the next couple of years" ZDNET - "Small businesses, big security risks" "The most recent Computer Crime and Security Survey, compiled annually by the Computer Security Institute and the FBI, found that 85 percent of the survey's 500-plus corporate respondents detected security breaches last year, and 65 percent admitted suffering financially because of them. Losses exploded by 42 percent among the third of respondents willing to quantify them for the record. And 70 percent point to their Internet links as the source of security troubles.

I am sure our systems are secure.
Why would anyone want our information?
If you have caught yourself saying these things, you are putting your business at risk! Most small and medium-sized businesses gravely underestimate their vulnerability and risk when it comes to computer security. The FBI estimates that computer security breaches cost over $10 billion a year. Most of this cost comes from the loss of data and productivity in small businesses. The question is not "if" you will be affected, but "when".
Common Threats
Common threats for most businesses include, viruses, disgruntled employees and external security breaches. DigitaTech can perform a full security audit to reduce the risk of loss in all three cases. We examine your virus protection plan and offer suggestions for balancing updates, cost and bandwidth. DigitaTech will also look at your internet connection to see if you are vulnerable to outside attack or Internet worms.
One of the most comprehensive investigations we do is to examine your systems for vulnerabilities. We check for up-to-date security patches, unnecessary services and programs running on your systems as well as the security and access of your employees.
Did you know...?
Did you know that without a proper usage policy in place, you may have little or no recourse if an employee sabotages your system? You may be liable if an an employee uses your system for illegal activities. To make matters worse, most small companies grant more access to employees than they need, making it almost impossible to prosecute unscrupulous employees as they "exceed their authorization". DigitaTech can help you manage these risks and advise you on the proper procedures for securing your critical data.
