Janus has just published a new market report about Blog Threat Management.
From the description:
- ...blogging is emerging as a threat to the Internet user community. While blogs have a legitimate use, online journals pose serious threats to enterprise confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
- Few controls are placed on blogs. Increasingly, companies on the web advertise the ability to help anyone set up their own blog, which increases the number of blogs.
- Blogs have the potential to contribute to regulatory non-compliance in that the blogger may not document the blog communication, as may be required by regulation. The blogger may not understand that such documentation of the event ( the blogging session) is required. Further, any such documentation may be made in anonymity and/or made under an alias that may be temporary. Also, communications registered on a blog may contain information that may violate privacy considerations as defined by the regulation.
I don't have $995 to read the full report, but maybe you do. I am not sure how FUD filled this report is, but I would imagine any in-house counsel would read the intro and quickly ban any corporate blogs.
