   Confidence on Display: Information Protection for SMBs

By Jeff Steigerwalt, Solutions Manager, Skyline Pittsburgh

At our heart, Skyline is about creativity. We’re small, with only 15 
employees, but we do important work to help our customers make the best 
impression with high-quality exhibits and displays. While we like to 
challenge ourselves artistically, however, one area where we don’t want 
any surprises is in our computers. And as we create, send and receive 
dozens of high-quality images every week, that means that reliable, 
effective information storage is vital to our operations.

	If we lose any of our work, or a virus keeps us from meeting our 
commitments to customers, it can devastate a small operation like ours. 
That creates two specific needs for us: protecting our information and 
systems, to keep the bad guys out, and being able restore things in case
 something does go wrong. We have to deal with constant malware threats 
in our email. And, making things more challenging, I’m the only IT 
resource we have. And as the owner, I have plenty of other things on my 
plate to deal with besides our computers.
