Seventeen percent of employees have launched a hacking tool or keystroke-logging software on their network in the past year, an increase from 12 percent from the year before. That’s no surprise given that 47 percent of the 351 IT decision-makers interviewed by Websense said employees who received phishing e-mails clicked on the link they found in the message, while a third of those interviewed admitted that they don’t block executables in e-mails. The annual Web@Work survey interviewed 351 information technology managers from U.S. companies of all sizes. @ More results of the survey are at SM Online.
More businesses are using social media to promote their brands, and that raises issues about when and how they should monitor what employees do with it.
