The Enterprise Social Media Security Reality
“Almost two-thirds of companies surveyed say that social media is a significant or critical risk to their brand reputation; yet 60% of companies either never train their employees about their corporate social media policies or do so only upon hiring. Moreover, 43% of companies have less than one Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) dedicated to managing social media risk.”

(Alan Webber, Altimeter, August 2012)
“Nearly two-thirds of security and risk professionals (64%) have no social media policy in place or if they do, they lack tools to sufficiently enforce and support the policy.”
