Wireless computing devices offering technology advances to SMEs are now widely accepted as a cost effective means for the Small Business owner/manager to connect computers and peripherals as the business grows in size.
There are some key technology issues and risks with wireless computing devices that owner/managers of SMEs need to be aware of that need to be considered to make sure that the SME business and data, is adequately protected against a range of risks.
“Most people know how to "get onto a wireless system" and it's easy to locate information on how to hack wireless, but very few actually spend time adequately securing their own wireless devices” said Rob Harmer, General Manager PCProfile.
“There are free wireless access point detection tools that will illustrate how easy it is to locate unsecured wireless systems and those that have them may be having a field day using your wireless at your expense" said Harmer. There are some significant underlying risks, if this is the case with your systems, and you need to make sure that security is set to the right level to suit your needs.
Care also needs to be taken when the system is reset back to default settings, and many overlook checking to see whether the manufacturer defaults may have overridden whatever layer of wireless security you already had, or thought you had?
PCProfile has now released “Wireless Security Tips and Tricks” as a single comprehensive tutorial pack which covers all the bases so that you can teach yourself (for less than the cost of a computer technicians callout fee) what to do so that you can choose the level of security suitable to minimise your risk. Take the time to check your systems now - Wireless Security Tips and Tricks might just be the catalyst to lift your awareness, and motivate you to lock down your wireless systems better!
“Having a low level or no security on a wireless system is like leaving the house with the front door and back door wide open, and in your neighbourhood that may not be the sort of thing you do with your assets, so why leave your business computer system in the same vulnerable state?” said Rob Harmer.
Distributors of this package are sought worldwide who wish to promote and sell this unique software product into their small medium client base, which is a growing market space of significant size.
