RE: Top execs biggest social engineering risk

Social Media, when used properly and in the right context, can be a very useful tool in boosting businesses. Using media sites though, puts a company's network security and privacy at risk, and causes problems for its IT department. Some of the threats include Malware, brand hijacking, lack of control over content and a number of other things. It is therefore important to have social media policy in place. IT managers should explore issues surrounding social media in the workplace for them to make informed decisions about blocking social media sites, and to create a sound social media policy for their companies.
