Securing Social Media

Whether it be Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or other Social Media, organizations generally agree that this presents a new frontier threat. However, few understand how to go about securing social technology, social media or social networking.

Organizations that eliminate social technology participation open themselves up to other security issues. Employees, who are bent on getting access to these technologies, will do so some other way.

For those who do open up to social technologies will have to deal with the following challenges:

• Defending user trust
• Defending privacy
• Defending confidentiality
• Defending identity
• Defending against malware
• Defending against data leakages
• Defending against user complacency
• Defending brand reputation
