How much is the largest capacity of a USB Flash Drive now? Last time I checked, computer shops are already offering an 8 GB Flash drive and they also have a 320 GB external My Passport Drive and they are so affordable that is why more and more people are using it to save their files and carry it with them anywhere they go.
But the problem with USB Drive is, since it is portable, you can just plug it on any machine (say in a computer shop) and you can easily catch a virus and spread that virus once you plugged it to a computer that is connected to a network.
That is how the virus spread in my friend’s company which disabled their operations for a day. My friend’s company is just on its start up stage so they don’t have a secure system in place to protect their network. But since the virus incident, my friend learned the importace of having a secure IT infrastructure.
So they decided to hire an it consulting firm and in just a matter of days, they were able to setup a secure IT network for my friend’s business. And what’s good is that, my friend doesn’t have to hire in house IT personnel to manage the network since the IT consulting firm will also manage and maintain the company’s network.
IT is really an important and integral part of a business. Too bad my friend learned this the hard way but he is happy now since his company is now safe because it is backed up by a very reliable IT firm that will help keep the company’s network safe and stable.
