Social Media At work
Brian Byrnes | 15 Jul 2010 | 0 comments

The security of the networks of various organizations are at stake but the potential for innovation using social media is a large enough incentive for the discussion of how to properly utilize the medium continues.

It is important to not only understand the immediate benefits of doing business how one lives, but the threat it presents to an organization’s greater ROI and productivity when it comes to the server’s safety and security.  If your IT Department wants to block social media apps on the company network…...
