Keeping an Online Biz Secure from Hackers

For any business operating online, nothing is more important than security. The best products or services, the most responsive customer service, the most effective marketing -- all are compromised if a business is left open to crippling viruses or to hackers looking to steal customer or business information.

But many small-business owners don't have the resources -- or the knowledge -- to get the kind of protection they need these days. "They know their business, but they don't know much about security," says Fred Rica, a partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers, where he focuses on Internet security. "That creates vulnerability, and hackers look for that type of access."

The results can be disastrous. So, security specialists recommend a few steps -- some simple, some more complicated -- that business owners should take to protect themselves. StartupJournal | E-Commerce
