2. Protecting Your Digital Identity

Online marketing opportunities are everywhere, but business risks associated with these opportunities can be substantial, too. Once you commit to selling goods and services on the Web, you become responsible for securing your online business, including protecting your computer, network, data, customer information—and company identity.
