I USE FACEBOOK IN THE SCHEDULE NEW WORK

I saw a report by Panda Security data giving a significant : "69% of employees working in SMEs , use Facebook during office hours work ". The workers and even owners of these companies say they use this network to perform actions of marketing, public relations practice, research or competitive intelligence.

However, despite these advantages Facebook is the main culprit of serious problems:

• the privacy and economic losses: 39% of companies say they have suffered economic losses malware infections and more than a third of these, estimated losses at more than 4,500 €.


• Lost productivity of employees: 60% of companies surveyed acknowledge that their employees lower productivity to lose a lot of time surfing Facebook private or personal purposes


• Fall of network performance: 29% said suffering from problems in the use of the network led to their servers become saturated, it blocked or losing speed.


• reputation of the company: 49% of companies said that having problems with his reputation, comments or statements derived from their uncontrolled workers.
  

These data as significant necessarily going to force companies to minimize the risks of social networks and more specifically Facebook which is the most used. It is therefore necessary to establish a policy governing the use of the network, instructing all employees and educating them about the benefits and risks.

be laid down parallel restrictions on the network that pass through the prohibition of downloading and installing applications not authorized by the company, restrict or block access to popular sites, security mechanisms to prevent malware and Finally regular employees or to determine authorized to make statements on the network to pursue the appropriate unit of message and avoid inappropriate content .

Interestingly, despite the few advantages and many risks, few propiatarios of SMEs that decide to implement an appropriate security policy.
