Blogging Can Threaten Enterprises

According to Ireland based research firm Research and Markets, companies need to raise awareness about the impacts of blogging from their employees.





Blogging is rapidly emerging as a threat to Internet users. A blog (short for weblog) is a personal journal that is frequently updated and intended for general public consumption. Blogs generally represent the personality of the author or reflect the purpose of the Web site that hosts the blog. While blogs have a legitimate use, online journals pose serious threats to enterprise confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Blogs are potentially contributory to regulatory non-compliance in that blogs may not be documented communications and may also violate privacy considerations.
