Hackers want the financial information and computer power of your network. Last April, Sony’s PlayStation Network was hacked. The company admitted that the personal details of 70 million users were compromised. Even if your operation isn’t as big as Sony, your business is a target for hacking. In fact, 85% of data breaches occur at the small business level, according to EMC².
Easy Targets
Advanced hacker attacks are a real risk for small and medium-sized businesses. Hackers target small businesses to receive a large gain without going head-to-head with all the security obstacles that a larger corporate entity has at its disposal. 60% of companies don’t realize their security has been breached until after the damage has been done. The cause of all this damage is often a business’ unarmored security network.
Processing and Bandwidth Power
Beyond trade secrets and credit card numbers, hackers want your network’s horsepower. Hackers can combine the power of all the PCs on your network and increase their own encryption-cracking abilities. This can slow down your network so much that you can hardly move your cursor. In addition to this practice, hackers can use your own computers against you by bombarding your internet server with data and crashing it. These “zombie” computers famously attacked CNN, Yahoo!, and eBay in 2000.
Personal and Computer Identities
By using your computer as a launch point to perform illegal actions, like accessing your clients’ information, hackers cover their tracks. If police are notified, they’ll track the hacking back to your PC instead of to the true culprit’s. In personal identity theft, hacker’s only need to know your real name and email address to impersonate you. He or she can send unsavory messages to your friends, clients, or ex-bosses from social network accounts. In a worst-case scenario, you may have to defend yourself in court from slander.

Minimize the Impact to Your Business

Try to complete the bulk of the moving over the weekend to minimize the impact on your clients’ and customers’ workweeks. Provide laptops to key employees to perform vital operations during this time.
Expect the Unexpected
To keep emergency business functions running, check out the area around your new location. Are there copy and shipping centers nearby? If possible, set up power and phone service before moving in. This will make moving your business much easier.
Upgrade as You Reinstall
Moving is a great opportunity to improve the efficiency of your network. This is your chance to upgrade and synch all your software. Consider replacing your old CRT computer monitors will less bulky flat-screens.
