Study Reveals Small Businesses Lack Security Policies

The security threats to small businesses are increasing in complexity, number and frequency, and the volume of information they must protect and maintain continues to expand. A surprisingly high number of Small businesses have yet to take even the most basic steps towards protecting their businesses, such as implementing antivirus or backing up their data.
