As discussed in various blog posts in the past, your security is very important.  Unfortunately, there are many viruses out there that threaten your security.  If your security is affected, not only does this mean your time is being used to fix the issues, but it can be extremely costly to ensure that you are protected again and that everything is secure.

According to Tech Republic, “Viruses, Trojans, Worms, and Ransomware do not differentiate between a large or small business. They represent the same risk, no matter if you have a lot or only very little budget to invest in network security. Irrespective of the size of your business, these threats can mean loss of profitability and productivity, loss of data and financial assets, and potentially catastrophic loss of business continuity. It is likely that small businesses are more likely to fall pretty to these attacks, because they do not have the budget, IT infrastructure, or support that a large business can afford.”
