FAQs
How do I know if my network is secure?
Most businesses don't know the extent of their vulnerabilities until they conduct a professional security assessment. Warning signs include: no formal security policies, infrequent software updates, no multi-factor authentication, employee access to unnecessary systems, lack of data encryption, no security awareness training, or no recent security audit. If any of these apply, your network likely has vulnerabilities. We offer free security assessments to evaluate your current posture and identify risks.
What is the cost of a data breach?
For small businesses, the average data breach costs $149,000 in direct expenses plus indirect costs like lost customers, damaged reputation, and business disruption. Many small businesses that suffer major breaches close within six months. The cost of prevention is a fraction of the potential breach cost—making security not an expense, but an investment in business continuity.
Do we need network security if we're a small business?
Absolutely. Cybercriminals specifically target small businesses because they often have weaker security than large enterprises but still possess valuable data. In fact, 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses, yet only 14% are prepared to defend themselves. Your size makes you a target, not a protection.
What is the difference between network security and cybersecurity?
Network security specifically protects your network infrastructure—firewalls, routers, switches, and the connections between systems. Cybersecurity is the broader concept encompassing all measures to protect data, systems, and users from cyber threats, including network security, endpoint protection, data security, application security, and user training. At Goodwin PC Services, we provide comprehensive cybersecurity that includes robust network security as a critical foundation.
How often should we update our security?
Security is an ongoing process, not a one-time project. Critical security patches should be applied within days of release. Comprehensive security reviews should occur quarterly. Security awareness training should be monthly. Penetration testing should be annual. Technology refreshes should occur every 3-5 years. With our managed security services, we handle all these updates automatically, keeping your protection current without requiring your attention.
Can network security slow down our systems?
When properly implemented, modern security solutions have minimal impact on performance. We design security architectures that protect without impeding business operations. In many cases, our network optimization actually improves performance by blocking unnecessary traffic and streamlining network flows.
What happens during a security incident?
Our incident response process activates immediately: (1) Detection and analysis to understand the threat scope, (2) Containment to prevent spread, (3) Eradication to remove the threat, (4) Recovery to restore normal operations, (5) Post-incident review to prevent recurrence. You'll have clear communication throughout, knowing exactly what's happening and what actions we're taking.
