Christo IT Services: The Big Scary Internet

This presentation outlines how you as a small business owner can work more securely on the Internet and help protect your company’s information, customer data, and financial assets against online fraud and other cyber crimes.<br><br>You’ve heard the tales of how companies and organizations were damaged and in some cases even destroyed by cyber criminals. Here are a few true stories: <br><br>A thief stole a company laptop, and the company lost a decade of irreplaceable research and intellectual property worth millions.<br><br>A newly-hired executive received email from what looked like his company’s travel agency, where he was asked to click a link to confirm the accuracy of his personal details. This took him to an official-looking site where he found his personal data. There, he was asked to download software that would link his Outlook email account to the travel agency’s booking system. In so doing, he downloaded malicious software that spread through his new company.<br><br>Hackers broke into the computers of a retail chain through an unsecured wireless network and stole the financial information of all its customers, which cost the company millions in lost business and was ruinous to its reputation.<br><br>Most often, damage to big corporations dominates the news, but cyber crooks target small and mid-sized businesses too.
