The Small Medium Business (SMB) world is well aware that computer security measures, starting with anti-virus and malware protection are a requirement within their infrastructure if they wish to succeed. However, many entrepreneurs and SMB operators are frustrated with the process of trying to get a comprehensive security plan in place for their organization on a small business budget or in some cases next to no budget at all, especially with the current downturn in the worldwide economy.

Traditional malware security packages are loaded with additional challenges for these SMB users due to the lack of collaboration of user information and account status. Ordinary antivirus software requires installation and management of each individual product on each individual machine. This means critical manual management of product codes, virus signature updates, and expiration dates in a world where attacks are becoming increasingly more sophisticated and difficult to detect and debug. The other option is for the SMB to invest in enterprise IT software, commonly known as on-premises systems, which can be more than an SMB requires and necessitates the purchase and management of additional hardware as well as budgets to support the hiring of skilled professionals with the necessary security qualifications to manage and maintain these tasks so they are not left to unqualified or overworked employees.

Fortunately, security vendors have heard the cries of the SMB markets and have responded with the Software as a Service (SaaS) -based model that is now universally embraced as an alternative to the expensive on-premises systems and the time honored traditional CD box for the small and home offices. This SaaS cloud technology is growing quickly and can usually allow the SMB to leverage the feature rich environment of the enterprise technology at a cost savings necessary within the SMB budget. One such company that has answered this call is ResolutionsMSP. Their cloud technology embraces the SMB market giving them a robust antivirus engine within a feature rich endpoint security product, allowing global management of all machines under one account and accessible through any internet connection. There is no hardware to purchase, configure and manage. ResolutionsMSP. provides real-time Signature Coverage reports, Scanning reports and Malware reports which are emailed to the appropriate business employee or the managed service provider for easy, accurate management.

Gone are the days of going from machine to machine (formally known as sneaker-net) to manage malware updates and virus infections. ResolutionsMSP eliminates the need for many SMB operations to spend additional resources on IT budgets and get fewer results. Cloud technology is here to stay and with it SMB’s do not have to forgo the securities they need to keep their operations environments safe and secure. My advice for the SMB user is to find a security product that protects against viruses, worms, trojans, spyware, adware, dialers, Jokes, Hoaxes, Hacking Tools, and system vulnerabilities that can be managed through the cloud and offered as a SaaS environment. Saving money within the budget is important and you no longer have to compromise on security.
