It may not immediately sound like this applies to small business, but small businesses are often far less protected from these threats unless they work with a Managed Service Provider (like BDPNetworks!) who can institute a comprehensive IT security program.  Internal IT staff, independent consultants and traditional “break/fix” IT service companies are simply ill-equipped to handle current and emerging security threats for companies of any size.  A structured management program which includes regular updates, maintenance, agressive security management and training is the only good solution.
