Entrepreneur: Why Entrepreneurs Should Consider Outsourcing Data Security

The author, Dal Gemmell of Trend Micro, argues that by working in the cloud, you get faster, more responsive protection without overburdening and slowing down your computers. And the advantage increases as the volume of threats increases.


“As a smart entrepreneur, the biggest problem to contend with in regards to cyber criminals is that they’re smart entrepreneurs, too. They’re highly motivated and technically proficient hard workers.

What they’re after isn’t fame or notoriety. It’s about money. Specifically, that means stealing data–personal and business facts and figures that can be used to generate illegal profits. It also means hijacking the computing power of your PCs and servers to steal other people’s data in order to generate more profit.”
