If you think your small business can continue to ignore IT security and function safely with your out-of-date computer systems, think again. Vision Computer Solutions is the only Michigan IT company exclusively dedicated to providing IT support and services to small businesses. As small business technology experts, we are familiar with the IT security challenges facing even the smallest companies.
As the Internet is constantly changing, more and more viruses are created that can wreak havoc on your business’ computer system. Your technology must be kept up-to-date in order to adapt and remain safe. Many companies may be completely unaware that they are putting themselves at risk every day. In fact, 37% of computers are currently running insecure versions of the popular web plug-in Java. Many of these computers are at risk due to the lack of regular maintenance and updates.
Despite anti-virus software, over 1 billion computers have been exposed to attack due to Java vulnerabilities. In the first quarter of this year alone, over 6.5 million new malware programs have been created and over 40,000 infected pages are added to the Internet each week. When viruses or malware infiltrate your computer system, your business could experience costly downtime, lost productivity, and missed revenue. On top of lost revenue, you’ll have to pay for the repair or replacement of all infected devices, which can be expensive.
