In today's world Security is a critical issue. Many business owners incorrectly believe that since the data on their servers is only useful to them, that they are not a target. While it is true that occasionally businesses are the recipient of targeted attacks, either from competitors or disgruntled employees, most attacks are generated by automated scans. These automated scans typically attempt to identify, then leverage incorrectly configured or un-patched email & web servers. Once compromised, they use these systems to attack additional machines, or distribute software and music illegally. Once compromised, this illegal distribution can also open you up to legal liabilities.
