STEFFEE, S.
- Abstract
The article offers information on the Web 2.0 Security in the Workplace survey conducted by Check Point Software and the Ponemon Institute. It highlights the finding that employees generally disregard security threats when using the internet, noting that the situation is aggravated by the rapid rise in downloading applications and the growth of malicious online threats. It is explained that security advice, which usually warns against extreme situations, is ignored when the user perceives that the benefit offered is not worth the cost involved.
