This is not some new fangled techno-speak, it is a real tool
to be used for the protection of your wireless internet network
and LAN. African American SMBs have to realize that if your
Internet connection is on 24/7 then your network, and it is
a network that your computer is connected to, is at risk.
Any business that uses the Internet to share or exchange information,
news, or ideas with clients, vendors, partners, or other locations
look in the reflection of your monitor and realize that your
business is an unintentional (or intentional) target.
You should already be aware of all the thousands of bugs,
viruses, denial of service attacks and other unfriendly items
that lurk on the internet and virtually try attacking every
second. It's like having a screen door on your most valuable
assets. Let's not repeat what you know about, let's look at
a larger picture that should concern everyone - the unknown.
There are attacks that go unreported for
various reasons, these are the ones that the major software
and hardware vendors have no clue about and can only warn
you after an attack is reported.
If your files, email, identity, client or product information
are important to your african american business and you cannot
afford a network being down for 24 hours. Then a firewall
is what should be between the internet and everything else.
You need to expect an intrusion if you have a small amount
or no network protection. Hackers have tools that search the
Internet 24/7 looking for a vunerable point to destroy. Overzealous
marketers use similar tools to harvest information to use
for spamming and unfortunately no one currently calls that
a crime that we know as identity theft.
You have a deadbolt and a door lock on your front door and some
even have a home security system in place. Why have a screen door
latch on your home computer network, when you know there are people
trying that door 24/7?
If you want to put a digital rottweiler between your home
wireless network and hackers, marketers and other cyber-vandals
then evaluate a strong firewall for your african american
business.
Don't have the time or resources to get your home wireless
network protected and need a african american Wireless Solution

your freedom back...and a whole lot more. M.D.T.G.
