New Release: The Gorilla Guide to…® Secure IT Deployment for Small to Midsize Business!
If small businesses thought they could do fine without an Internet presence, the COVID-19 pandemic shocked them into realizing they couldn’t avoid going online anymore. Even before the pandemic, they would need an online presence for communicating with suppliers, banks, and other institutions, even if they didn’t offer services on the Web.
But going onto the big, bad Internet is just as dangerous for a small business as for famous mega-corporations. Ransomware spares no one, for instance. What’s needed is an approach to cybersecurity that recognizes the limitations on computer expertise and financial resources in small businesses. And as author Ed Tittel points out in The Gorilla Guide to…Secure IT Deployment for Small to Midsize Business, most businesses are small. The book lays out the security requirements and resource constraints of businesses as small as a single person or as large as 500 employees.
The guide looks at a range of protections, starting with employee education and preventative measures such as penetration testing (Figure 1). Tittel then proceeds to more sophisticated options such as Zero Trust and DevSecOps, which treats security as part of a sleek, fast-moving development strategy. The book also discusses how Hewlett Packard Enterprise services for small and medium-sized businesses fit into the picture.
