Reality Check Podcast
Whether enterprise security administrators like it or not, instant messaging and social networking are part of the Internet fabric. Sites like Facebook and LinkedIn are growing in popularity. Twitter has quickly become a household word, especially with the integral role it has played in recent events such as the election in Iran or the death of Michael Jackson.
These tools have many benefits, but also come with some security risks. Allowing the flow of information in and out of the enterprise network always exposes some measure of risk. In this month’s Reality Check podcast I talk about these security concerns with Elaine Hom, Associate Editor of TechTarget’s SearchUnifiedCommunications site. We talk about whether or not social networking sites belong in the workplace, and how to prevent hacks and breaching. We also discuss best practices when trying to maintain IM security and social networking sites’ security.
