Computer Security for the Small Business Owner

The San Gabriel Valley SBDC now provides training and counseling of what the small business owner should know and do about computer security, computer networks and information assurance. Most small business owners can't afford to hire an Information Technology employee to explain the security and computer technology issues that are important to your small business and organization.

Mt. San Antonio College has a program called Regional Information Security Center (RISSC) that is charged to provide curriculum for students in cyber security. RISSC is partnering with the San Gabriel Valley Small Business Development Center to bring you information and one-on-one counseling that will help your organization succeed. We will answer the following questions:

* What is computer security?
* Why do we need it?
* Who are the attackers?
* How do they attack?
* What can I do to protect myself?
* How do I set up a proper computer network?

After this one-on-one counseling you will have an understanding of the risks involved with ignoring computer security issues. We would like them not to be there but, ignoring them does not make the threat go away. Every computer and user is a target in today's technological environment. If the person is not stealing your personal or private information they may use your computer without your permission remotely. Please take advantage of this service available at no cost to you.
