Serious crime

It is good to see that at long last the police are taking steps towards recognising e-crime (Police to be assessed on e-crime response).

Organised gangs are attacking web applications and stealing private company data all too frequently and many businesses are ill-equipped to fight this threat.

Many small businesses have little idea of the security threat they face and are shocked to discover that their existing IT security systems are not stable enough.

Companies should constantly review their security provision to ensure that their data is protected from new and increasingly sophisticated forms of attack. If these assessments lead to more funds to police the problem, then this is a step in the right direction.

Small business do not have the time or the expertise to constantly review their security threats. As much as I appreciate the overall tone of your comments I believe that they have little to do with the article relating to the assessments and more to do with advertising your companies services, please refrain in future from this type of marketing activity.
