Why is Paper Shredding Important ? 

When you’re thinking about building up your business’s security, paper probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind, but it is definitely something you need to be concerned about. Paper is an unrecognized security risk to your business. Every time an employee prints an email or leaves pages sitting out on their desk, the Paper Monster grows a little stronger. The Paper Monster lurks on every desk and in every office. When it comes to security breaches, an office without a shredder can be as dangerous as a faulty firewall. Your office needs a shredder, so that you can get rid of the Paper Monster, before it gets you.
