Smaller businesses might have a smaller presence, but that doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re any less susceptible to attacks. Attackers choose their targets based on odds of success, and if it\u2019s between your SMB and a large enterprise with more resources, congratulations, you\u2019re the unlucky winner. Thanks to automated software, millions of businesses are scanned for specific vulnerabilities, and hackers can find low-hanging fruit to target that is guaranteed to yield results rather than try their chances with attacks that are doomed to fail.<\/p>\n
Computers are interconnected devices, meaning that not only will your computer save session info for later, but so too will your ISP, employer, and every website you visit. Incognito mode, or private browsing, can prevent your current device from saving browser history, searches, and cookies, this is true\u2026 but this only applies to your<\/em> device. Your ISP, employer, and the websites you visit can still see what you\u2019re up to.<\/p>\n Generally speaking, Windows devices have held a significantly larger portion of the market share compared to Apple\u2019s Mac devices. Economically speaking, hackers have more to gain by targeting Windows devices. This used to mean that Mac had fewer viruses targeting them, but this fact has changed, as Apple\u2019s share of the market has increased over the years, bringing more threats along with it.<\/p>\n As much as you want to believe this is true, a modern data center will be far better equipped to protect your data than any in-house server. You might have a locked door and an alarm system, but a data center has security and redundancies for fires, floods, power outages, and other disasters, as well as other security contingencies such as armed guards and biometric authentication. You get much more security with the cloud and a similar level of access.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re concerned about keeping your business safe and functional, then look no further. We\u2019ll ensure you\u2019re listening to only the best and most sound advice out there.
