Internet Security
Protecting Your Privacy & Your Data

"43% of Canadian businesses cite security as their biggest concern regarding on-line transactions."
("Winning with E-Business"
Angus Reid survey of Canadian SMEs)

Although the Internet has proven to be invaluable as a research and marketing tool, several hazards exist on the information highway that could be potentially damaging to your business assets. Becoming aware of the possible dangers to your information system and business data is the first step to arming yourself effectively against virtual threats, such as viruses, hackers, etc. Viruses have been known to shut down business operations around the globe in seconds - but you can avoid this kind of problem with a little knowledge and foresight. A firewall can monitor your Web traffic and warn you of any unscrupulous intruders. Knowing how to manage your browser preferences can also protect against possible threats. Encrypting electronic messages is another way of protecting sensitive information.
