For small businesses, the importance of IT security cannot be understated. This infographic explains how putting in place proper security measures is more than just the right thing to do – its an essential step in actually building your business.

1. Imagine your business is an unfinished castle.
You’re building it to keep
your internal data and
customer information
safe – the things that
are essential to the
welfare of your
kingdom.
But to really protect
your castle from
invading threats, you
need to construct a whole
security apparatus.
YOU NEED TO...
Build high walls to keep invaders out,
implementing email security that filters
spam, blocks viruses, and inspects
outbound email for sensitive information.
Construct a drawbridge that allows you to
completely close off the castle,
implementing antivirus software to
determine if you’ve been compromised.
Lower the gate to seal off the entrance,
using a firewall to scan all traffic as it
enters or leaves your network.
Dig a moat, recognizing a
strong password policy helps control who
can gain access to your systems.
Only let people in who know the
password, training employees how to
eliminate security threats by
protecting access to the network.
And staff the castle with guards who check
the defenses regularly and who can repair
defenses as needed, because a good
backup strategy is required to rebuild the
network, should a breach occur.
Because businesses can no longer afford to take partial
measures when it comes to cybersecurity.
