Today’s fast-paced business environment requires that employees have access to information where and when they need it. Organizations, however, struggle to ensure that employees have just enough access — not too much, not too little. Inappropriate access is extremely common, and it can lead to detrimental business risk. Such events range from relatively minor policy and compliance violations to disastrous business losses. All it takes is one person with the wrong set of access controls to wreak havoc.
As an IT consultant I am fully aware that IT management is struggling with whether social media is productive or obstructive for companies and their employees. Software is being developed and policy and restrictions are being decided everyday by IT managers. The security of company networks are at stake but the potential for innovation using social media is a large enough carrot for the discussion of how to properly utilize the medium continues. Palo Alto networks came up with a whitepaper, http://bit.ly/d2NZRp, which will explore the issues surrounding social media in the workplace. It is important to not only understand the immediate benefits of doing business how one lives, but the threat it presents to a company's greater ROI and productivity when it comes to the server's safety and security.
