Just today, I read an article about hackers who are targeting small businesses and gaining access to their bank accounts.   The link to this article is listed below.  No organziation, no matter how small, is exempt from becoming a target of computer or data theft.

We are constantly on the lookout for these types of stories to make sure we know what the “enemy” is doing and to help us protect our clients from these invasions. 

Please make sure that you have excellent security in place to prevent this from happening to you.  If you have questions about the level of security in place for your organziation, please call us to discuss how we protect our clients and how you can benefit from our services.
