  1. Businesses are neglecting simple security controls because it takes time; time that could be used to make money.But, what happens when your network is breached? A business’ first line of defense should be at least setting a password to their wireless systems. Of course, there are more elaborate defenses, but not even doing the simplest defense is just silly. Ways to protect a business’ data would be to let another company attempt to breach your network and data. Etnacom seems like a great company that can help you find the loop holes in your company’s network security.

  2. Thanks for the comment Marie! We definitely appreciate your support. But Marie is right, protecting your network takes time, but time well invested.
