How small and medium-sized businesses can improve IT security, governance and compliance

In 2007 there were more than 6,000 new IT security vulnerabilities identified that could impact your business operations. Large firms – with their larger budgets and greater resources – are well practiced in establishing plans to protect and defend against technological threats. But for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), IT security strategy can be a considerable challenge – even though the dangers are the same regardless of company size.

In this Computing web seminar, in association with IBM, we examine the tools, technologies and best practices that can help SMBs to secure their organisation and their information.
