So you want to go on the Internet, you want to do business on the web, and online financial transactions with your bank. You want to go online! You are opening your door to the cybernetic world and you anxiously await the returns. The Internet and the web are new frontiers, new markets to be tapped but beware, there be tigers out there. Past the metaphor, what is not obvious to all the business people going online is how secure they are doing so! Let's face it, modern day office equipment is in its majority geared towards ease and transparency of use, and not of security of data. The ease, by which one of your employees shares his/her printer with the rest of the team, is the same ease by which an outsider can access the resources of her/his computer. The ease, by which an NT server shares its disks, is an open invitation to outsiders to peek into and even destroy your hard earned business data.
