"Social Networking and Network Security:  Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, or Threat?”

Chris KingChris King
Director of Product Marketing
Palo Alto Networks, Gold Sponsor
Bio

 

With hundreds of millions of users sharing information about their personal and professional lives and trusting anybody on their “friends” list, it’s understandable that most security professionals can’t be found on Facebook. From newspaper stories, clearly, threat developers and attackers are using social networks as conduits for their efforts, and military organizations are deeply concerned about potential operational security issues surrounding social networks. But tremendous amounts of information is being shared on social networks, and increasingly, private and public sector organizations are using social applications to communicate with customers, partners, and constituents. So if social networks are more and more “how business gets done,” how should security professionals respond? This talk will explore the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats associated with social networks on behalf of the security professional, and provide some recommendations on how enterprises might safely enable these applications, including:

  • A different approach to policy
  • The required changes in security model
  • The different controls that can help
