Keeping Your Small Business’ Digital Activity Private and Secure
In the past, business threats were relatively easy to detect and resolve. Almost every large business and small business worked on a brick and mortar basis and the most significant threat that the majority of businesses faced was theft.
However, they could install CCTV cameras, tag their products, and employ security staff to minimize the amount of theft that was able to take place in their store. Nowadays, on the other hand, increasing numbers of businesses are operating online.

This, of course, is problematic. After all, if you don’t know what risks you’re facing, how are you supposed to defend yourself against them? Well, not to worry. Here are a few steps that you can take to ensure that your small business’ digital activity is private and secure at all times.
