The Comprehensive Solution Minimizing Risk…Maximizing Trust

Are You At Risk For A Data Breach?

If you think that hackers are only targeting large companies - think again.

According to National Cyber Security Alliance, one in five small businesses is the victim of cybercrime each year. And of those, 60 percent go ‘belly up’ within six months after an attack.

But What About You?

According to a recent Farm Bureau survey, nearly 87 percent of farmers said they were unsure of what to do if a security breach occurred at a company holding their data. What’s more, only about one in 20 said that companies managing their information had outlined a security-breach plan.

“Manufacturers are expecting dealers to address data security and properly protect themselves and the brand”

How Does Data Get Stolen?

You’ve heard about the high profile examples of customer data being stolen from companies such as Home Depot and Target, but beyond computer hacking, a much more common occurrence that puts your dealership at risk is data that walks out your front door every day. Here are just a few examples that many dealers don’t consider when evaluating risks.

  • Outdated anti-virus software and firewall protection

  • Sharing data with third parties

  • Old hard drives and CDs

  • Staff access to files, and more:
