Identity theft, fraud and other types of cyber crimes could potentially cause businesses to fall. It takes careful planning and strictly enforced policies to secure a company's information. With all employees being involved and knowing the correct way to protect their information improves an organizations chances of being successful and not susceptible to a security threat.
