It’s no secret that your technology company depends on the capabilities of your computer systems to function. So you should be aware that simple actions your employees take could be putting your company’s equipment and networks at risk of cybercrime, including cyber attacks, cyber theft and other computer security incidents. According a 2013 survey of more than 800 small businessowners by the National Small Business Association, the average cost of a single cyber attack was nearly $9,000. Your business is at stake, meaning you should do everything you can to protect yourself.
