ABSTRACT
The use of computers raises some risk issues around content use, infringement, defamation, attribution, tort liability, privacy, and security. Although most of these relate to public social networking sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn, some of the issues are still relevant to internal networks, particularly if public platforms are integrated into the tool sets. Technical controls focus on security controls that the computer system executes. These controls depend on the proper configuration and functionality of the system. Organizations will have to develop a very clear policy warning employees against using corporate-supplied personal computers in this manner. It is important that the organization develop an ePolicy that addresses how employees use e-mail, the Internet, and all things social networking. Network security addresses requirements for protecting sensitive data from unauthorized disclosure, modification, and deletion. Requirements include protecting critical network services and resources from unauthorized use and security-relevant denial of service conditions.
