Top Network Security Threats: Small and Medium-sized Businesses

Posted by: Ben Uphoff in Computer Security, Links to articles, network security, tags: , , ,

On BreachyBytes we most frequently focus on network security for enterprise networks. However I did stumble across an interesting article on Continuity Central that did a nice job breaking down the top ten threats to small and medium-sized businesses. Although these points are relevant to smaller businesses I think that many are applicable to large enterprises and home users as well. Here is their list:

  1. Insiders
  2. Lack of contingency plans
  3. Unchanged factory defaults
  4. The unsecured home
  5. Reckless use of public networks
  6. Loss of portable devices
  7. Compromised WebServers
  8. Reckless web surfing
  9. Malicious HTML e-mail
  10. Unpatched vulnerabilities open to known exploits

Read the article for more information.

    Do you ever wonder where people get all these MySpace and Facebook Friends and Twitter Followers? I found one place to get a TON of MySpace Friends, It’s called SupremeAdds.com but do you know any other ways to get more traffic from social networks to a blog like yours or mine?

    Thanks For keeping it on point!

    Best Regards
