Introduction
Every day, more and more businesses are moving their operations online. But even though entrepreneurs
are rapidly embracing the Internet for commerce and communication, a valid concern is still at
the forefront for most Internet users: security.
As it stands alone, the Internet is not a secure way to send information from point A to point
B because its network is completely open to the public.
And Internet misuse and abuse abounds. Creative hackers can send viruses via email, intercept
and view data moving through the wires, and infiltrate private networks to steal highly sensitive
company data.
So what's a business to do when protection is so crucial? We've designed this buyer's guide
to outline your options - both hardware and software - in the framework of five major areas of
Security Software: Firewalls, Virtual Private Networks, Secure Web Servers, Email Security, and
Consulting Services.
