Tip #4
“If
determined cyber criminals really want to target our business, there's
no way we can stop them. Why spend resources on a lost cause?”
Well,
at least this statement shows this person isn't ignoring the security
threat, even if they have drawn the wrong conclusion. While it's true
that hackers and ID thieves are a bigger threat than they used to be,
that isn't a reason to start waving the white flag and wait for a
security breach to happen. The
right technology tools and qualified security experts to help protect
your unique IT environment can help stop cyber criminals in their
tracks. Your customers and partners are only asking you to take reasonable steps to protect them. Giving up and waiting for a problem isn't a reasonable option.
