IT SecurityThe availability of the Internet has benefitted our businesses in so many ways. We can communicate easily to employees, vendors and clients, work collaboratively with colleagues and co-workers, complete tasks more efficiently, and access the cloud for storage, applications and data transfers.  Without access to the Internet our economy would simply come to a halt.

However, cyber attacks abound and are becoming increasingly fierce and destructive.  With the current geo-political climate, hackers from Syria and other countries are posturing to retaliate if the U.S. government becomes involved in their ongoing war.  As a result of these and other Internet threats, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has deemed October as National Cyber Security Awareness Month.
