Bringing Social Security to the Online Community

With the increased use of social media and Web 2.0 applications there are more opportunities than ever before to spread malware, steal identities, and perpetrate fraud. The growing popularity of social networking and community sites enable high levels of interaction between users through blogs, content sharing, RSS feeds, file sharing, podcasts and other technologies. This opens the door for employees and community users to inadvertently become infected and more disturbingly could lead to a loss of highly confidential intellectual property.

The online survey conducted by AVG and the CMO Council reveals that while the social networking community has serious concerns about the overall security of public spaces, few are taking the most basic of steps to protect themselves against online crimes.
