Social business correspondence networks

[Anonymous]

I am the director of a small company, our employees are actively using social services. VKontakte networks for business communication and discussion of corporate issues, moreover, they created a special closed group, in which all our employees are members. I, as a leader, of course, am against this, but I can’t influence them in any way, because they say that it is very convenient and efficient. Tell me, what consequences can this kind of activity of my staff in contact cause and how safe is it ..?

As it seems to me for business purposes, social networks are absolutely not safe. Since in the first place you need to have a complex password. At least 15 characters alphanumeric. Although this does not guarantee security. But that is not all. You need to carefully use these resources without falling for various fraudulent tricks, spam links, phishing, etc. And I think that it will be very difficult for you to control and try to explain it to your employee, as a rule, they shave it all.

Social networks are actively used for business communication and discussion of corporate issues. No one guarantees that this communication will not be made public. All messages are stored on the server for a long time and protection against hacking is not guaranteed. They can crack the email of any of the group members and gain access to the account. You just write in Google hacking in the account and see how much material on this issue. As said above kolega

fraudulent tricks, spam links, phishing, etc.

. They can also drop the trojan onto the computer of a group member in contact and intercept the password and login. If you have competitors, they will certainly try to hack all your correspondence. If the company does not have everything in order or is checked by law enforcement officials, they can request correspondence from the owner of the social network. Just by sending a request. It’s also not necessary to forget about monitoring social networks.
My advice: Termination of all activities through contact. Nothing can replace live communication in a trusted room.
