Secure Mobility

Complacency is not a word that should come to mind when the topic of IT Security arises. Although most SMB’s are aware of the risks, the majority fail to realise how serious they are. 

The risks are everywhere and can come in various forms, such as:

• Viruses
• Worms
• Spam
• Spy ware
• Hacking

Taking into account that IT Security needs to meet government regulations to protect sensitive information, add into the mix most SMB’s want the freedom and maneuverability of wireless and mobile connections. It starts to become clear that the days of simply installing a firewall, spam blocker and anti-virus software are long gone.

As the level of technology in businesses expand to include new technologies such as:

• Virtualization
• Unified Communications
• Networking
• Data Centres.

The requirement for expansion in the areas of Data Protection and Security increases as well.  In some instances this need only becomes evident after a security breach occurs.

Research by the Yankee Group Research Inc. Showed:

• 33 percent of SMB’s experienced business disruptions because of security issues.
• 87 percent suffering a security breach in 2004.

Another recent survey by Symantec stated “more than half of the 1 425 small and medium businesses surveyed had suffered from security breaches in the last 12 months”.

All of this adds complexity to the security needs of today’s SMB’s.
