| The operation of your business requires regular access
to information stored on your company's network or personal
computer. Imagine leaving them off for three or four days
to realize how important computers play in your business. |
| It takes a small business an average of
five days to get their network or PC back up and running
after a serious virus or trojan attack. How would you
survive during that time? Worse, what if your data was
completely lost and unrecoverable? |
| This risk is growing as more businesses
get high speed internet access which hackers use for Denial
of Service (DoS) attacks and for spreading infections
to other companies. |
| Heartland Information Research recommends
you contract with a local IT professional or firm to manage
your data security. In addition to business interruption
losses, your company could be liable for failing to secure
customer's private information. |
| If you are comfortable managing your own
data security program, the products below have well established
reputations within the computer industry. |
