When deciding on what level of security you want for your computer network in your small or mid-sized business, it’s important to look at all angles. Security is one such factor to look at. There are currently two options for networks. One is to upload information to a cloud network, another is to have an in-house network, using servers. You can read here about the difference between saving to the cloud and saving to a server network specific to your business.

In the last year, major security breaches have happened, including the iCloud breach where celebrities had their personal pictures shared with the world, as well as multiple major corporations systems have been hacked, making the personal and financial information of tens of millions of people vulnerable, exploited or stolen. What happens if it’s your company’s proprietary business information that is hacked from an online cloud network?

While having an in-house server system will not make the information less safe, it will make it less vulnerable. Bottom line is, there is risk with using computers period, but an in-house server network cuts down on the probability of being hacked. However, since computers are vital to functioning in today’s society, there are safety measures you can take to help protect your information.
