Finding Peace of Mind -- Is My Data Secure?

1 minute read time.

I must reluctantly begin this post with an admission that in my heart of hearts I wish for the days of naiveté. After all, I grew up in a small town like many of you in an age when we didn’t even lock the doors at night. Crime was something that happened somewhere else … not in my neighborhood … mischief maybe, but not serious crime. Yet today on the way to work, I was bombarded with numerous ads warning me about identity theft. The first thing that happened when I arrived at work was I had to wait for 15 minutes while my desktop completed a security update pushed out by our IT department. Even my evening entertainment is filled with stories of computer hackers, internet stealth viruses and cyber theft.

Is it any wonder then that one of the top concerns expressed by owners and top executives of small
and medium sized mid-market Sage customers was the desire to find peace of mind
in knowing that their data was secure? 
The business data we manage every day is everything from customer names
and addresses to credit card data to investment portfolios to proprietary
recipes or formulations to custom specifications and manufacturing methods. As those ads are so quick to point out, in
the wrong hands this information could ruin people’s lives or bring a business
to ruin.
