Old threats to information security are finding new routes to their victims using social media. As a result, the rules and advice for protecting against hackers can become confusing to the point where they get ignored. The Security Company has published advice on how to simplify and clarify company security policies on its website.
Hannah Tufts of The Security Company says: “Social media facilitates a wealth of beneficial activity; however it remains fundamental to educate users that social engineering and phishing attacks are becoming more prevalent in this sphere. Organisations must continue to prioritise clear communication about online security with employees as they encounter and adopt different social media tools.”
