Demystifying Web 2.0: Opportunities, Threats, Defenses

Overview Every new technology introduced into the enterprise brings with it new threats. Web 2.0 is no different, with threats including:

Infection and downtime -- caused by viruses, worms, Trojans and spyware
Data leaks -- as staff members intentionally share things they shouldn't
Legal prosecution -- for illegal activities or regulatory breaches
Productivity loss -- as users spend more time on blogs and social networking sites
Resource waste -- as servers and networks become congested
Reputation damage -- one of the above hits the headlines

These threats may look similar to the threat landscape associated with typical Web and e-mail use. But the unique nature of Web 2.0 technologies demand a new understanding and new defenses.
