...open door to your home wireless?
Author : Daviyd Peterson
This is not some new fangled techno-speak, it is a real tool to
be used for the protection of your wireless internet network and
LAN. African American SMBs have to realize that if your Internet
connection is on 24/7 then your network, and it is a network
that your computer is connected to, is at risk. Any business
that uses the Internet to share or exchange information, news,
or ideas with clients, vendors, partners, or other locations
look in the reflection of your monitor and realize that your
business is an unintentional (or intentional) target.
You should already be aware of all the thousands of bugs,
viruses, denial of service attacks and other unfriendly items
that lurk on the internet and virtually try attacking every
second. It's like having a screen door on your most valuable
assets. Let's not repeat what you know about, let's look at a
larger picture that should concern everyone - the unknown. There
are attacks that go unreported for various reasons, these are
the ones that the major software and hardware vendors have no
clue about and can only warn you after an attack is reported.
If your files, email, identity, client or product information
are important to your african american business and you cannot
afford a network being down for 24 hours. Then a firewall is
what should be between the internet and everything else. You
need to expect an intrusion if you have a small amount or no
network protection. Hackers have tools that search the Internet
24/7 looking for a vunerable point to destroy. Overzealous
marketers use similar tools to harvest information to use for
spamming and unfortunately no one currently calls that a crime
that we know as identity theft.
You have a deadbolt and a door lock on your front door and some
even have a home security system in place. Why have a screen
door latch on your home computer network, when you know there
are people trying that door 24/7?
If you want to put a digital rottweiler between your home
wireless network and hackers, marketers and other cyber-vandals
then evaluate a strong firewall for your african american
business.
Don't have the time or resources to get your home wireless
network protected and need a african american Wireless Solution

freedom back...and a whole lot more. M.D.T.G.
