Understanding the risks of using social media

The risk of compromised information, whether through an innocent mistake or a deliberate attack, can bring an organisation to a standstill. Moreover, with the high-profile GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) protecting personal information, monetary and reputational damage are at stake.

Incidents through the hacking of social media accounts, accidental sharing of confidential information or blackmail are on the rise, but can be prevented if staff are properly trained in the risks of social media use.

Enrol staff on the Social Media Staff Awareness Human Patch E-Learning Course to ensure such incidents are kept to a minimum.
