Today, the online landscape is alive with participation and
collaboration. In addition to Web 2.0 applications like IM, Web
conferencing, VoIP, and blogs, hundreds of social networking sites
are available to anyone with a browser.
Left unsecured and unmanaged, widespread use of Web 2.0
applications can:
- Create holes for information leakage, resulting in the loss of
confidential information
- Expose organizations to legal liabilities and financial
penalties from compliance breaches
- Compromise network security from malware spread through
real-time channels
- Increase help desk calls and support costs
- Cause network bandwidth overload with file sharing
