Business Security Information

I was planning on writing about endpoint security near the end of last month, but with the holidays and numerous other business and personal activities occurring at the end of the year I had to take a little sabbatical from writing posts for our website.  It is good to be back into the swing of things again, and I hope everyone has a great and successful year with their business.  As always I will be here to help you with any security issues that you may have for your business so feel free to leave comments or contact me using my contact form on my About page.

I was thinking about how busy life and business seem some-days–today being one of those days.  It got me pondering how complicated security can be for a business, especially computer security issues.  Fortunately there are some simple things that can be done to protect PC’s in your business without you  having to spend enormous amounts of time or money–things that you can do right now!

In recent articles, I have spoken about PCI compliance and about security tools that can help you identify sensitive information on your computers .  While talking about PCI with a company recently and as I write these articles, I realized that there is enormous amounts of open-source software that can assist businesses in complying with some of the elements of PCI.  I have included a list of possible open source software that you might find useful when working on the different elements of PCI.  I use open-source software for a variety of elements in my business and personal life and find it comparable or superior in many ways.  Of course, there is usually a learning curve when working with any new software whether open-source or purchased.
