Small business owners'
cybersecurity policies and actions are not adequate enough to ensure the
safety of their employees, intellectual property and customer data, according
to the 2009 National Small Business Cybersecurity Study. The study,
co-sponsored by the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) and Symantec
[Nasdaq: SYMC], as part of this year's National Cyber Security Awareness
Month, surveyed nearly 1,500 small business owners across the United States
about their cybersecurity awareness policies and practices.
