Today’s edition of the LA Times features Stan Stahl of Citadel describing the increasing risk of cyber attack to small and medium sized businesses across varied industries.

Effective cyber security management not only guards against the high costs of a breach; more and more it is becoming vital to remaining competitive in an increasingly security conscious marketplace. “Taking precautions against cyber thieves not only is an act of self-protection but also might be a requirement for winning new clients,” reports the Times. “An increasing number of corporations are requiring that companies they hire as contractors, no matter how small, have digital defenses in place.” Read the entire article here.
