Small businesses are the primary target for data breaches. Most do not have the time, money, knowledge, or patience to secure their business network. In the black hat hacker community, these facts are well known and provide the incentive to steal important data from the unprotected small business.
Mainstream media does not publish small-scale breaches nearly as often as large corporate breaches such as Sony or Citigroup, but they still happen. Hundreds of businesses go under every year because the fines are too much for a small business to handle.
Until recently, most network security solutions for small businesses were produced for large corporations with big budgets, data centers, and full time IT staff.
In May, 2011, SecurityMetrics released a new product for small businesses that provides internal network security called SecurityMetrics Vision. This Network Threat Sensor installs on the inside of a business network and searches for threats through internal scanning, wireless Internet detection, event log management, and an industry-leading firewall.
Once threats are identified, warning alerts are delivered to a business’ secure account at the SecurityMetrics website and by email so threats can be eliminated. For all businesses that need assistance with threat remediation, SecurityMetrics 24/7 technical support is available to help.
If a small business purchased all these features from other sources, they would spend thousands of dollars, SecurityMetrics Vision is made and priced for small businesses. Click here for more information.
