Don't keep passwords on note paper around your desk. |
Data security is vital to the success of any company. But
small businesses are especially at risk for breaches which can devastate them. US Media Studios reviews data security tips for small businesses.
A 2013 report from a respected Internet security found that
more than thirty percent of attacks targeted in 2012 was at businesses with
less than 250 employees. The average cost for one data breach is about $200
dollars per record. Small businesses are susceptible to security breaches and
some shut down after one.
Here are some tips to keep data secure in a small business:
Regularly remind employees about Internet security in the
workplace. Block social media sites which can distribute malware and viruses.
Give passwords to only the employees who really need them. Ensure
that the passwords are not kept on the computer in the hard drive, and are not
written on notes and taped to computer monitors.
US Media Studios also suggests investing in secure conferencing software versus
using an online open connection. The more data security features implemented,
the safer the small business will be.
