Disgruntled employees present a special threat to small businesses

When you run a small business, it can feel like your employees are family. In return, many of your employees feel the same about you. But when performance or other reasons warrant a parting of ways, it can be emotional for both parties. Unfortunately, many employees have sprawling access to business systems and business owners often don’t have the expertise to secure their assets.

It’s our business to help in these circumstances with incident response options, but you can save yourself a lot of trouble if your systems are configured securely now. Permissions can be managed that ensure your systems are secure now and remain so regardless of who comes or goes in your organization. Your WiFi can be configured to separate your business systems from your employees and customers using their own devices. Your business data can be encrypted too, so that even if someone does access your systems, the data will be protected.

What data are you responsible for? Costumer records and payment information, vendor information, legal information, and other business related intellectual property. Once your business suffers a data breach, it’s a long row to hoe gaining back your customers’, business partners’, and vendors’ trust. Half of small businesses that have suffered a cyber attack close their doors within six  months.
