Periodic Awareness Tip #3 - Social Media

INTRO

Raising awareness amongst your company's staff is key as the human factor is quite often cited as the weakest link in data protection and security "in the field". Raising awareness also is not a one-off thing. You have to keep hitting the same nail. Preferably though, you try out different angles every time again, as information overload and boredom settle in quite rapidly. That  is why I periodically and in no particular order share some awareness raising materials.

VIDEO

Ellen DeGeneres has a talkshow in which (for a period of time) she rumbled through the facebook pages of the members of her audience. With the reach of that show she may have done quite a lot in teaching people how (not) to behave on social media. This is just one example, just search for The Ellen Show and "You posted that on Facebook?" and you will find tons more. Again something that may spur the discussion in the hallway and near the watercooler.

Specifically for this one: how do you raise awareness on the (mis)use of social media?
