I strongly urge each business owner / manager to read this article and takes it’s advice to heart!
From the article:
The stakes are high and getting higher all the time. In January, the Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) reported that the number of data breaches in 2008 increased 47% compared to 2007. The organization also reported that 35.2% of breaches were due to human error. (Watch a slideshow of the 10 worst moments in network security history.)
And Ponemon recently released a study showing that the average cost of a data breach grew to $202 per record compromised in 2008, up from $197 per record in 2007. And the average security event cost individual companies $6.6 million per breach in 2008, up from $6.43 million in 2007 and $4.7 million in 2006.
Worse, security breaches result in a loss of consumer confidence, which translates into customers taking their business elsewhere. (Listen to a podcast of five ways to employees can sabotage your network.)
