IT Asset Management Operating in a Cloud Dominated Era
In the world of data security, it seems large corporations are the ones stealing the headlines with news of another data breach; but data breaches can hit hard no matter what size business, especially without a data security plan.
Reality check for small businesses: You are susceptible to data breaches just as much or more so than large corporations! Because small to medium-sized businesses lack resources for high data security and IT asset management, they become easy targets for cyberthieves looking for an extra gift during the holiday season.
Big data used to be a problem for small companies to get their hands on. Since the Obama Administration took steps to allow small businesses access to information generated and stored by the Federal Government, no longer does small business mean small data. Some companies get caught up in the big picture and fail to protect themselves from cyber predators.
But, we can’t afford data security
Data security measures don’t have to cost you an arm and a leg, but they will certainly drain your funds if your company is hit with an attack. The cost of a data breach is constantly on the rise, up to $136 from $130 per compromised record just in the last year. Not to mention, the financial toll of a data breach is expected to grow 10 percent each year through 2016 due to new discoveries of IT vulnerabilities.
We have data security measures in place. What more can we do?

Your company can and will be in tomorrow’s headlines without proper data security measures in place.
