systems and your environment.

that has to be taken when in the
air has to be taken when dealing
with the computers that are left on
the ground, let alone the portable
devices in use everywhere."
Despite what you might think,
protecting your business isn't
expensive.
"Security does not have to
cost a fortune; that's old and BS,"
Roberts said. "Open-source tools,
free encryption, open-source AV,
firewalls, et cetera, are all out
there to help companies deal
with the costs. You just have to be

smart enough to realize you are
going to be a target, and you need
to understand it."
The Federal Bureau of
Investigation, Federal Trade

want to dive deeper, you can find
more details, too, such as how to
protect yourself in peer-to-peer file
sharing and how to configure your
wireless local area network. The
SBA explains your responsibilities
for keeping all digital data safe.
FBI and FCC recommendations
