As cybercrime continues to rise at an alarming rate, it is now more important than ever to ensure that your business networks are protected from hackers, your employees are properly trained to recognize cyber-security threats that could wreak havoc on your business, and that businesses are implementing a strong cyber-security plan that will help mitigate the threat of cybercrime. Cybercrime threatens all businesses across the world; regardless of size or revenue, the likelihood of being hacked is imminent. Unfortunately, it is not IF but WHEN your business will be hacked. What are you doing to protect your business from the evolving threat of cybercrime? As cybercriminals continue to evolve their tactics, business owners will need to increase security measures to not only safeguard their financial assets, but also their business data from being stolen or compromised. Too many times we hear of business owners turning their cheek to implementing cybersecurity measures to then have their business completely devastated by a cyber-attack. How much can you afford to lose in terms of both time and money? Remember, you must ask yourself this question as a business owner when it comes to protecting your business from cybercriminals. In this book, we have gathered strategies from 13 cyber security experts nationwide to give small business owners the information they need NOW to protect their businesses from cybercrime.

Home and Small Business Guide to Protecting Your Computer Network, Electronic Assets, and Privacy by Philip Alexander Pdf

In the news on a daily basis are reports of lost or stolen computer data, hacker successes, identity thefts, virus and spyware problems, and network incursions of various kinds. Many people, especially nonprofessional administrators of home or small business networks, feel helpless. In this book, technical security expert Philip Alexander explains in layman's terms how to keep networks and individual computers safe from the bad guys. In presenting solutions to these problems and many others, the book is a lifeline to those who know their computer systems are vulnerable to smart thieves and hackers—not to mention tech-savvy kids or employees who are swapping music files, stealing software, or otherwise making a mockery of the word security. In his job protecting data and combating financial fraud, Philip Alexander knows well which power tools are required to keep hackers and thieves at bay. With his gift for putting technical solutions in everyday language, Alexander helps readers with home and/or small business networks protect their data, their identities, and their privacy using the latest techniques. In addition, readers will learn how to protect PDAs and smartphones, how to make hardware thefts more unlikely, how to sniff out scammers and the motives of offshore tech support personnel who ask too many questions, and how to keep personal information safer when shopping over the Internet or telephone.
