WHY WEB SECURITY IS SO IMPORTANT

As technology changes, it becomes increasingly challenging for businesses of all types to keep their personal and customer’s information on the web secure. Web security is important to keeping hackers and cyber-thieves from accessing sensitive information.  Without a proactive security strategy, businesses risk the spread and escalation of malware, attacks on other websites, networks, and other IT infrastructures. If a hacker is successful, attacks can spread from computer to computer, making it difficult to find the origin.
