Many of these liability questions are unanswerable at this time, but recognizing the issue is the first step in solving the problem. Don't let the risks of technology prevent you from using it. Cars are a great way to get from Point A to Point B, and used properly, they can get you to your destination quickly and safely. But the risks do not stop us from getting out on the road. In fact, few of us could survive effectively today without using some sort of motorized transportation.
Computers are the same.
There are risks to using computer, but the benefits can be much greater. Minimizing the risks helps, and one of the best ways to minimize these risks is to understand what they are and take appropriate precautions. For example, talk to a technical consultant about the risks of a hacker getting into your network. Keep your eyes open for new articles on liability issues. You understand the liability if someone slips and falls on your property, but that does not stop you from inviting people to your office.
