Internet connections makes security even more of an issue for SMEs.
Exposure to hackers and viruses that can steal, alter, or destroy confidential information can expose your organization, customers, vendors and business partners to financial losses. In addition, accessing and downloading inappropriate material from the Internet can subject employees to an uncomfortable work environment that could lead to harassment lawsuits as well as reduce productivity. Protecting SMEs from security threats can be difficult because of limited budgets and in-house IT resources to evaluate, implement, and manage Internet security solutions.
