In the past few years, social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter have exploded in popularity. Social networking sites are not only used for staying in touch with family and friends, but they are also being used as Customer Relations Management (CRM) tool for businesses. While social networking is becoming increasingly more of a necessity to businesses, so is the potential of security threats introduced to the corporate network.

This presentation will look at preventative solutions in the market that will protect companies from malware entering the corporate network through social networking sites.

This briefing will benefit security vendors and enterprises by discussing the increasing trends of security and social networking sites, and will provide guidance on preventative solutions available in the market.
