Nowadays, websites have become so common and almost all the major companies and businesses are having their own website. The success of the business is mainly influenced by the websites and as a result companies give importance in getting the best designed websites for their business. As the numbers of internet users are rising rapidly, most of the sales and transactions are done online, and people look on the internet for purchasing products or services for different purposes.

Since majority of the users and customers have turned online, having a business website of your company would surely assist you in getting more sales and revenues. Websites helps to spread information to the online customers about your company, its services, products, address etc. and this would in turn boost your business.

Getting a website for your company is not a big issue as a large number of web design companies and agencies are there for your help. There are also a good number of freelancers who offers web design and development services. Due to the increased number of web design agencies and firms, the competition would also expect to be too high. Majority of the medium level companies are only capable of providing average looking websites and you may be lucky to get some online visitors on the website. You should always be selective enough in getting the best creative web design company for your website.

Due to the large number of web design agencies, a lot of websites are of low quality standards whose design patterns are not at all in line with the latest trends. The design and layout are pathetic in such a way that a customer who visits your website would never think of coming back to the website again. So if you want to make the visitor revisit your website, then your website needs to have that kind of attractive design and layout which prompts the visitors to come back. Unless improving the look and feel of your website you cannot expect any increase in your business from the website and your business may surely take a back seat.

So if you are really serious about having a website for your company or business, then try to make it professional, attractive and as neat as possible. This would help the visitors to get educated more about the services and products of your company and would also in turn boost your overall sales and revenue. Never go for website design agencies that offer websites at low costs because you would never be getting a neat and professional looking website at cheap cost. If you are open to spend a little more money, you would not find it hard to get a professionally looking world class website.

There are a large number of creative web design agency or firms available and you have to make sure that the creative website design company is reputed and capable of providing a world class professional website for your business.

Debunking Common Computer Security Myths

Debunking common computer security myths

All businesses can be susceptible to threats like hackers and computer viruses. Making matters worse is the great deal of misinformation floating around regarding cyber security. The Internet attracts urban legends and computer security isn’t immune from this trend. Many alleged security “facts” are, at best, inaccurate. Some of these myths are recent developments, while others have been around for years.

Clearing up some common misconceptions about computer security, Staples and Norton have teamed up help separate fact from fiction.

Myth 1: Companies that sell antivirus and security solutions create viruses

The idea that the online security companies develop and release computer viruses to maintain sales is false. While it’s true that one variety of malware (malicious software) called “ransomware” infects computers and then sells its victims a “solution” to the problem, these rogue programs are not affiliated with legitimate antivirus programs, like Norton. In fact, legitimate antivirus programs are the first line of defense against devious hackers.

Myth 2: A small business’s main security threat is the Internet

A security policy that only considers Internet-based threats is woefully incomplete. Yes, hackers can breach your network security. Yes, malware can infect your network through unsafe websites. However, the biggest risks to your security are often those who work for you.

Many security breaches originate with employees. A small number of employees are simply dishonest. More often, however, security breaches are caused by simple human error. An employee loses a laptop, for instance, or incorrectly disposes of printed or digital information.

“Now more than ever, small business owners should be taking all precautions to ensure their businesses are secure,” says Conor Kearney, vice president of technology merchandise for Staples. “While antivirus programs are a great first line of defense against cyber threats, it is important to make sure you educate your employees on what constitutes good cyber security and have safeguards in place to prevent a minor incident, like a stolen computer, from turning into a full out data breach.”

Myth 3: Apple’s operating system is safer than Microsoft’s Windows

For years, Apple users held up the relative lack of malware on Mac computers as evidence that the Apple operating system had fewer security flaws than Microsoft’s Windows operating systems. Actually, Mac users were safer because they represented a relatively small percentage of all computer users. Malware writers prefer to target the largest possible audience. As so, because many people use Windows, the hackers focused their attention on Windows and, for the most part, ignored Apple.

But now, people use Apple devices in sufficient numbers to attract malware. For example, in 2012, the Flashback Trojan affected 600,000 Macs. And a year later, Apple computer users were hit by a virus that targeted iPhone developers via the Java programming language. Recently the Shellshock/Bash vulnerability was identified as putting Mac users at risk.

Myth 4: Hackers only target “big business”

Some small businesses take false comfort in their size. The assumption is that hackers and data thieves only target big companies, major financial institutions and government agencies. However, small businesses can also be targets for data breaches and hacks.

Small businesses need to have a defense plan in place. Often, small-business owners recognize the importance of cyber security, but are unable to manage the complexity of this issue themselves. Consequently, the cyber security of small businesses tends to be neglected. “Protecting customer and business data from cybercriminals is a matter of life and death for most small businesses. Because small-business owners are insanely busy, they need a multi-layer security solution that’s easy to install and manage,” says Brian Burch, VP product marketing, Norton Business Unit, Symantec, a leading provider of award-winning products and services that deliver online protection. Easy, quick setup antivirus solutions are most preferred by small businesses. For example, Norton Small Business is a single solution to securing computers and mobile devices within a small business’ network.

A false sense of security

Today’s computer security myths all have one thing in common – they can lull you into a false sense of security. Keep your office free from viruses by always employing a critical eye and lots of common sense. Similar to your annual doctor visit, be sure to give your small business a cyber-security check, reassessing its network security and ensuring you have the proper tools in place to protect it from a cyber-attack.
