Everyone's talking about security. But actually doing something about it is another issue altogether. The topic's so important, and so wide-ranging, that it's difficult to know where to even start.
When faced with such a challenge, it's best to start at the beginning. Review the fundamentals. Just as suspected TCP/IP connectivity problems are often traced to faulty cabling or a disconnected patch cord, security troubles often begin with poorly configured file and share permissions. This is especially true in small and medium businesses, where technology professionals are tasked with multiple responsibilities of which security is only one priority.
