Citation preview
THE
A (somewhat graphic) info-graphic-novel on the horrific risks people take with Internet security.
Introduction
Hostway and its security partner, StillSecure, conducted a survey of customers to find out the state of Internet risk management among SMBs
in the United States.
Among their findings:
While 70% of survey respondents believed they would gain security expertise more quickly by using a 3rd party security provider, only 30% actually used an outside provider for any part of their security needs.
And although 70% of respondents handled their IT security completely in-house, only 21% of respondents had a method to evaluate their
infrastructure’s vulnerability.
While data protection appears to be an acknowledged need, businesses seem reluctant to use outside providers to enhance their security.
What follows is a horror-storybook interpretation of these findings.

While an Intrusion Detection System can
help identify attacks, an Intrusion
Detection/Prevention System can actually stop
them in their tracks.
It’s important to keep a close eye on activity within your system. Log management, file integrity
monitoring, and regular vulnerability scans can help you
identify potential threats.
Ask your hosting provider about solutions
specifically created to help you meet PCI and
HIPAA compliance.
