Information is driving the growth of smaller, focused organizations today. In fact, the fastest growing market segment within the world today is the establishment of new companies. These organizations develop and maintain information that is critical to the livelihood of the organization. However, traditional methods to secure information will not work in this new economy. Organizations of all sizes need to focus on ensuring their devices and their information is protected. This is a key role for IT and essential to stay ahead of the competition and remain profitable. However, small businesses often just do not have the time or resources to devote to IT. Consequently, the lifeblood of their business—their plans, records, and customer information—may be at risk from new types of threats as well as established threats such as spyware, malware, and spam as well as from system failures and disruptions.

To guard against these risks, growing businesses need more than simple antivirus. They need multiple layers of protection, but without straining budgets, resources and schedules. In addition, small businesses need a reliable, cost-effective, and hassle-free way to make sure their important information is always available.
