You may ask yourself, “Do I really need encryption?” It can be annoying to have to login every time you turn on your computer and encrypting your files can take a long time. So you may wonder if investing in encryption is a smart idea for your business. Short answer, yes.

You and your business are vulnerable to insecure data transfer and storage in many ways:

• Your organization probably has dozens of documents that are strictly confidential. You wouldn’t want anyone to get their hands on your bank and credit card account numbers, or personnel files now, would you?
• The database of your business is something that needs to be guarded securely. This includes financial data, customer data, personal data, employee data, medical data, etc. All of these are at risk when they are simply stored in servers, and at even greater risk in transit as your company performs business internally or externally.
• Your company’s Internet use is at risk from hackers and unauthorized access.

For example, business email messages oftentimes contain confidential information about your company that you would not want getting out. Hackers can also find vulnerabilities in your Internet connection itself. If your wireless connection is not encrypted, anyone within range could use it without your permission. They would then be able to run software that can monitor your activity. And any data that you send or receive that is unencrypted will also be within reach to them.

With the ease of transfer on the internet come the risks of vulnerabilities. You may want to open your systems to customers, partners, and suppliers to foster your company’s IT. But without a reliable security solution, you may find yourself facing even bigger problems: data loss, hacker attacks, unauthorized access, stolen passwords, and more. To protect yourself and your company, it is worthwhile to invest in our security solutions.

You may think you are able to handle your security issues on your own, but your company will suffer from the lack of accountability of free open source solutions. Or you may even be stuck working with software only an ex-employee of yours knows how to run. So make the right choice and learn more about the services we offer.
