IANS, a leading research company focused on information security, has just published their risk assessment of adopting Web 2.0 technologies in the enterprise. Among their key findings are:
- Deployment of Web 2.0 technologies within enterprises for business purposes is among the most significant business and technical developments in 2010.
- Web 2.0 creates severe tensions between the business need to increase information liquidity and the need to protect and restrict the flow of private and sensitive information. Numerous risks are emerging that organizational leaders are only now beginning to understand.
- IANS research clients are initially struggling with the question of whether to block use of these technologies or not, based primarily on the culture and policies of the organization.
- Proxies, URL filtering, and content filtering create frustration and dissatisfaction for security teams due to insufficient granularity and constricted visibility. Newer breed firewalls are being rapidly adopted to maintain security and manage overall risk posture.
