Is your company protected against online security breaches? In 2004, October was named Cyber Security Awareness Month to highlight cyber security and its importance as threats to technology and secure data become more prevalent.
If you run a business and need help with online security, contact one of the leading security system companies in Franklin Park, SMG Security.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCA) are leading efforts with government agencies to raise awareness of cyber security worldwide.
