Has your company every been hacked? Have you ever thought about it before? The risks, dangers, what you click on, what site you visit? Think you're too small of a company for anyone to want to come after you? THINK AGAIN!
Hackers are now targeting small to mid-size companies because the borders of their network are less likely to be efficient enough to keep out the most intelligent virus, worm, mal-ware, spy-ware out of their network. It's also a low-profile hack for these "geeks." They don't get as much attention as they would from a state-of-the-art system from the likes of Lockheed Martin or SAIC.
What type of impact could this have on your business? Like most businesses, you deal with consumers or clients. One way or another, you will be receiving payment from that client for products or services rendered, at which point you will have financial information. Once you've been hacked, all your client's information is at risk, which is no good for them, but even worse for you as you were the party responsible. See how bad this can get?
Take a look at these articles. They have some examples of small businesses that have already experienced the worst.
