Always on guard Small business resources are stretched thin—and getting thinner. With tight budgets and a shortage of knowledgeable staff to administer and manage software, many small businesses are delaying some technology purchases, including much needed security products. In fact, according to a recent forecast by Gartner, worldwide IT spending is projected to decline for 2009, despite indications that security threats are on the rise (including 1.5 million malware attacks detected in 2008). The combination of tight budgets, a shortage of IT savvy staff, and increasing security threats are reasons why Security-as-a-Service is the only viable answer to today's small business security requirements. Security-as-a-Service solutions are designed to provide organizations with a comprehensive set of security products built on the software-as-a-service model (Google Apps, Salesforce, Netsuite). By building a security infrastructure in this manner, we can provide centralized management of the security solution and ensure that all systems have the most up-to-date protection no matter where they are at any given time. Instantly accessible and always on Security-as-a-Service solutions are instantly accessible and always on. Within minutes, you're securing your organization and maximizing the value of your investment. That's the beauty of the SaaS model—there's no lag time while you order equipment, train staff, and deploy software on every machine or endpoint. Eliminate problems before they get to your network With as much as 90% of email traffic being spam or containing malware (viruses, keyloggers, phishing schemes), doesn't it make sense to perform the filtering before it arrives on your mail server? Why let the spammers consume your disk space, your bandwidth, your server processing power and, most importantly, your time?
