Use a Firewall
Any device in your office that touches the Internet is vulnerable to outside attack. Don’t assume the firewall service that comes on your computer can actually protect you from the latest viruses. When’s the last time you had a chance to update your desktop firewall? Instead, shop around for a separate appliance that can protect your entire network of devices. There are very reasonable solutions ranging in cost from $400.00-$800.00. That’s not a large investment when you consider the downtime and loss of business.
you could incur with a cyber attack.
