Improve Information Security Practices in the Small Enterprise

Small enterprises are common targets of cyber-attacks due to their size and security practices.
Security is not commonly viewed on a strategic level and is generally centered around technical protection measures.
Firefighting IT practices cause security planning and capabilities to not address critical vulnerabilities and threats to the organization's information.
It is difficult to keep protection measures up to date and adequate against external threats that are increasing in volume, intelligence, and complexity.
