Don't gamble with your IT security

Industry surveys continue to suggest that as many as one in seven small businesses still do not have any IT security solutions. Those that do take some precaution are often still caught short, as many businesses simply renew their security solutions without checking that the products they are buying protect against the latest threats.

The danger is that all too often small business owners assume they are too small to attract the attention of hackers. The opposite is unfortunately often true with at least one in four small businesses already having experienced a security breach.

The truth in fact is that the threats facing businesses are so much more varied and sophisticated than simple traditional viruses, and it's not just big name multi- national businesses that are the targets.

On the 1st February 2011, Julie Meyer will be hosting the Entrepreneur Country Forum 'The Unfair Advantage'. The Forum discussions include, "We know who you are!' which will look at the next business battleground over the information users release through their online activity. We will examine who owns the economic value of that data and how to best protect your business from security risks.

"Online security is one of those things like your children's health - you don't look for budget service providers to ensure it. When it comes to securing my data, my company's IP, and my communications, I want to know that I have the best IT people on my team, and they are always one step ahead of the black shirts," said Julie Meyer, CEO of Ariadne Capital.
