Network security concerns have increased as the result of
the adoption of high-speed, always on, Internet connections. As businesses shift from dial-up to always-on broadband Internet
connections which offer significant advantages, their networks become more vulnerable to Internet hackers. These
Internet security attacks can wreak havoc on your business. A single attack
can be devastating with all your valuable data wiped out, confidential
information stolen or corrupted, your entire network made inoperable, or
access to sites vital to your business operations shut down.

communications link�it�s a vital connection to customers, employees, and
business services. A wide range of business practices are directly impacted by
your company�s effective use of the Internet. With the growing availability of

your Internet access becomes even more essential to your business. And record
numbers of businesses recognize the advantages of broadband and are switching

100 employees or smaller) in the United States with a broadband Internet
connection.
