WATCH: Ways to Protect Small Business Data
Small business data is valuable and must be protected, not just from hackers but from hardware failure, natural disasters and ransomware attacks.
That’s according to Allen Perk, a member of the NFIB Ohio Leadership Council and CEO of XLN Systems, an information technology consulting firm based in Columbus. Perk met online today with members of the NFIB Alabama Leadership Council and explained the steps they and other small business owners should take to safeguard one of their most valuable resources.
“Some of this is scary,” Perk said, but “your employees’ and your customers’ data is very important.” Watch Perk’s presentation below, and click here to download his PowerPoint presentation.
