Europe-wide Small Business Security Survey Reveals Many Problems

Enforcing basic levels of security seems to be something small European businesses have mastered, especially those that use the Internet as the main medium to conduct their business.  Spyware and viruses are the first terms that come to mind when someone asks for talks about Internet security but the fact of the matter is that there are many more threats that can compromise the valuable data small businesses in Europe rely on.

The recent security survey conducted by Symantec Corp. has revealed some interesting information about the level of security European small businesses put in place and how their data may become compromised by e-mail spam tactics known as phishing.

Spammers and fraudsters seem to be moving away from high tech tools such as viruses or spyware and have begun to focus on methods that require less work (as far as technology) and are more cunning in order to get valuable information from small business owners and use it against them.  E-mail phishing is nothing more than an e-mail that appears to be official and has a set of instructions that will ultimately lead to a data leak.

In order to detect phishing scams one needs to take a hard look at the e-mail address that was used to send the message, the language that is being used and the links such e-mail has.  As a European small business owner you should never assume that an e-mail is legitimate only because it appears to come from an established

The Necessity of Security Education for Small Business

Email and document security is no longer just an option for
companies, it is a necessity. Couple that with the costly user
licensing of most enterprise software solutions and many small
business operators can be locked out of taking advantage of Best
Practice strategies that ensure the privacy of intellectual
property and communication. Setting rights permissions to
documents and encrypting email will be essential to future
security practices for all businesses.

Common knowledge has been that the less sophisticated small
business operates on a pricing sensitivity and is more apt to
take advantage of promotions, whereas the more sophisticated
make security decisions based on perceived business necessities.
Overall, small businesses tend towards waiting to implement
internet security measures until after suffering an email breach
or informational leak. By this time privacy and accompanying
monetary loss may have already done irreparable harm to a
company’s intellectual property and reputation. Large enterprise
solutions make it necessary to adopt complex IT infrastructures
and processes that are usually dependent on an IT staff – a
solution that does not fit well into the budgets of most small
businesses.

According to published reports in PCWorld.com, there are nearly
70 million small businesses worldwide and over 20 million in the
U.S. alone. Small business is a major part of the global economy
- that means it’s time to replace a general

Small Business Security – It’s A Serious Business

People who own and run small businesses may have been overlooked in the past. Not attracted to the big budgets and sophisticated requirements of big business, the security industry has not focused on providing small business security. Small businesses had to settle for inappropriate and overpriced security that resembled home security systems.

But there’s good news. Leading security industry manufacturers and providers are paying attention now. They’re beginning to understand that the unique needs of small business security require tailored security measures and systems.

Small business security does have one advantage. Needing smaller staff and experiencing less turnover than large businesses, small business’s risk for in-house theft is significantly less, reducing the need for inventory tracking and video monitoring for break rooms and storage areas. But small businesses still face serious risks for theft, vandalism, and violence.

Small business security needs are in many ways like those of corporations and individual homeowners. Common-sense security measures are important. Things like removing potential hiding places for would-be thieves by eliminating blind spots on building exteriors is a basic preventive measure. Lighting the building, inside and out, makes it possible for people outside the building to observe criminal activity at night and when the business is closed. Keeping entry points clear of obstructions
