UCDU to Partner with Scionetix

Dated May 28, 2015, Salt Lake City, UT, The Used Car Dealers of Utah announced today that they are partnering to provide their members a reliable defense for on-site computer systems and networks against intrusion attacks. The partnership agreement is with SCIONETIX, LLP, a Utah-based Network Security Company.  SCIONETIX, LLP will secure for participating members their on-site computer systems and networks.  They will also provide a reliable defense against data intrusion attacks and sensitive information, as well as viruses and malware.

“Companies with small business networks are under attack today like never before.  Hackers are using sophisticated and automated devices to indiscriminately probe thousands of IP addresses each day across the web”, says SCIONETIX Owner and Manager, Tom Anderegg.  “Today’s cyber criminals are looking for one thing, vulnerabilities.  If they find them, they exploit any weakness to see how far into a system they can get.  This causes havoc that is often fatal to the business.”

Keeping a network system secure in today’s environment should be the concern of every small business owner.  The first challenge is for busy business owners to find the time to inform themselves on the level of security they have.  Too many businesses are unsure and fall victim to falsely thinking they are too small for anyone to worry about.  “Companies today, no matter how small, can no longer rely on security through obscurity,” Anderegg says. 

With both State and Federal regulations dictating so much of the auto dealer’s business these days, it is increasingly important for each individual business to secure all sensitive and valuable data.  They need to have a viable “Red Flag” compliance policy in place, and to take sensible measures to make certain they don’t have vulnerabilities in their networks.  Any vulnerabilities can be easily exploited by an unscrupulous employee or outside adversary.

The Used Car Dealers of Utah has partnered with SCIONETIX to provide a security assessment.  This valuable service, if followed, will give them essential protection.
