Are You A “Sitting Duck?”

Don’t think you’re in danger because you’re “small” and not a big target like a J.P. Morgan or Home Depot? Think again. 82,000 NEW malware threats are being released every single day and HALF of the cyber-attacks occurring are aimed at small businesses; you just don’t hear about it because it’s kept quiet for fear of attracting bad PR, lawsuits, data-breach fines and out of sheer embarrassment.

In fact, the National Cyber Security Alliance reports that one in five small businesses have been victims of cybercrime in the last year – and that number is growing rapidly as more businesses utilize cloud computing, mobile devices and store more information online. Quite simply, most small businesses are low-hanging fruit to hackers due to their lack of adequate security systems.

As Pelstar, Tucson’s premier managed IT support company that works day and night to protect our clients from these attacks – and who sees, on a regular basis, hardworking American entrepreneurs like you being financially devastated by these lawless scumbags – we are determined to WARN as many businesses as possible of the VERY REAL threats facing their organization, so they have a chance to protect themselves and everything they’ve worked so hard to achieve.

“But I Have An IT Guy,” You Say

When it comes to protecting your company, you need to know for certain – without any lingering doubts – that you are doing everything you can to avoid being an easy target for cybercriminals. In our admittedly informal survey, talking to many CEOs who have been hacked or compromised, almost all of them told us they thought their IT guy “had things covered.”

We understand that you can’t do everything. You have to delegate and trust, at some level, that your employees and vendors are doing the right thing – but it never hurts to check and validate that they are.

You’ve spent a lifetime working hard to get where you are. No one gave you anything. You earned every penny and every client through honest means – not to mention a stellar reputation. Don’t let some low-life thief operating outside the law get away with taking that from you.
