Entrpreneur: A Short Course On Avoiding Data Security Breaches

It doesn’t matter how small your business, you’re vulnerable to attack if you don’t follow these procedures: take stock of what you have, only save what you need, lock what you save, pitch what you don’t need and plan for the worst.


“One of the most common responses I get from small-business owners when I talk to them about data security goes something like this: “Who would want to steal anything from us? It’s not like we’re the NSA.”

The hard truth is that any business is a target for bad guys. Just like any home can get robbed, any car can get stolen, and any eBay account can get hacked. It doesn’t matter what kind of business you’re in. You are vulnerable.”
