Are there holes in your network defence strategy?

What will you do if your network is hacked?

With the potential for harm to your brand, it's no wonder businesses are worried about their data.

From hackers to spam to viruses to DoS attacks, your network or website is constantly under attack. We want to hear about your concerns and help provide some answers.

Send your burning questions to jbrown@clbmedia.ca and we'll forward them on to DigitalDefence who will answer them in the pages of Canadian Security magazine.

Please send as much information as possible to allow DigitalDefence to analyze your question and come up with a detailed answer. The answer will be e-mailed to you directly and later be published in Canadian Security so others may benefit from your experience. Your company name will not be published.

We ask that your questions be limited to the field of network security, but other than that, anything's game.

Remember: There are no stupid questions, only safer networks.
