Spencer Technology Solutions, Roanoke’s premier IT Consultant group, has spoken at many events in the last few years about the topic of Inernet security and how to make it work for your business.
Matt Spencer, the President of Spencer Technology Solutions, is still asked questions by our customers on a regular basis about internet security. I am sure that most of you know that in today’s business world, it is extremely important to have security because of various privacy laws and the confidentiality of critical data, but did you know that Internet security is becoming increasingly important for all areas of businesses even if your data isn’t exactly earth-shattering in confidentiality.
Unfortunately, Internet security is becoming a necessity in all types of business simply because employees abuse the internet in so many ways, from things as simple as internet games to things as disturbing as pornography in the office place. Many employees browse hundreds of websites per week during work hours. Have you wondered when people have the time to play these new popular internet games — guess what they are playing them on the job. So while your employees are preventing their crops from wilting or other such fun things, you are seeing less and less productivity. Some employees even spend time looking for other jobs, and reading classified ads while on the clock. In addition to the productivity you are losing, many of these sites that are visited by employees are laced with viruses that can damage your business’ computers, cause them to freeze up, run slower, and eventually need costly repair.
What should you do? Most employees need the internet to do various job duties in the office, so how can you combat this problem ?
