The use of online social media such as
LinkedIn is becoming increasingly prevalent, and as a
consequence, employees are often very casual about what they say
and do online. They frequently share information first, and think
about the consequences later. Any business that does not have a

its employees on the do's and don'ts of social networking
may have a critical security gap in the protection of its
trade secrets and its confidential information.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
