How Managers and Executives Can Benefit
from The Stretwise Security Zone

If you're a manager in a small business, chances are good that you don't have a security expert on staff. The closest you have is probably a strange, but well-mannered young person who drives a funny looking little car with an eye-catching paint job.

The local franchise of on-site tech support services has been a much-needed staple of your business. But when it comes to protecting the fragile value you've created in your business, you wish you understood how to secure your network and computer systems better.

When you operate on very low overhead, you probably can't afford to hire a full-time security expert. And, while the on-site support service may be great at handling technical crises, they simply don't understand the unique subtle and unique role of information systems in your business.

The Streetwise Security Zone is like having an Information Security expert on-call, but one who can:

• Speak the language of business instead of techno-babble;
• Keep you up to date on the latest security news that affects your industry
• Explain what other companies are doing to address information risks that threaten your business
• Actually help you find ways to organize and deliver security initiatives that fit within your budgets.

You don't need to feel alone

The Streetwise Security Zone is a gathering place for small business managers and others who want to understand how to protect their business information and systems, but who don't have the time or budget to hire an expert.

Managers from around the world are collaborating and learning how to quickly assess their information risks, and how to make the most out of what resources they have to protect their business value.
