Description:
As witnessed by a recent Nielsen Online report, Facebook has now joined the elite amongst Web sites in generating a billion user minutes a month.
More than anything, this confirms industry thinking that these and other social networking sites offer significant business-to-business and business-to-consumer advantages for those forward-thinking
organizations that have embraced the technology with open arms.
Despite the obvious business advantages, however, social networking portals have also created a number of security and employee productivity problems for many company managers.
The $64,000 question facing a growing number of managers in business is, therefore, how to take advantage of the business benefits that sites such as LinkedIn, MySpace and Facebook bring to the company table, but without exposing staff - and the organization as a whole - to the reputational, legal liability and IT security risks that can result from unfettered staff access to this powerful Web resource.
Experts have already identified IT security risks such as identity theft, data leakage and malware attacks. Then there are HR issues such as cyber-slacking.
And that's just for starters.
This Webinar will:
- Help you understand the business advantages of employee usage of social networking sites from within the workplace.
- Detail the legal implications of allowing uncontrolled access to these sites - and how to protect your company's interests without unduly
limiting employee interactions.
- Offer practical information on what simple, effective steps organizations can take to safeguard themselves.
