Companies have been offered a number of helpful tips for improving their data security during this period of financial difficulty.Edward Minyard, certified continuity manager at Accenture, told Channel Insider that businesses should look to constantly test firewalls and other security systems by employing IT professionals to attempt to hack their network.
