terms of data security, to use social networking services Online (SRS). They quickly became indispensable for the youth of the digital agebecause they have opened new channels of communication. They are everywhere and transformed, little by little, the way we socialize. They present some aspects ofthe privacy of users and based on a principle of transparency which growsask questions about what it is to protect data personnel.
Try to understand the reason for the popularity of this new means of socialization as the point of view of users in terms of employers. itis necessary to outline new ways to reduce possible risks particularly within companies and make recommendations to better protect.
An analysis of the means to defend themselves from legal point of view and launched several initiatives to educate my institution will be central to this work.
Use your privacy settings.
This is a big one, and probably the simplest way to protect yourself. Make sure you set your page so that only people on your "friends list" are able to view your profile. Don't allow even partial access-lock that page down as tightly as possible. This isn't the be-all, end-all security measure, of course. Social networking sites are just as hack-able as any other site around. Only the very determined online crook will take the time to crack into your account.
Be mindful of the pictures you share.
Okay, so the picture of your children playing on the slip n' slide is adorable. But do you really want the whole world seeing them, barely dressed and dripping wet? It might seem innocent to you, but in the eyes of a pervert, that picture is anything but chaste. Save those for sharing in person, and try to keep the web-sharing to a minimum.
Do NOT post personal information.
Birthdays, phone numbers, addresses, full names-you have the option to share a lot of personal information on these sites. Assuming you have set your privacy settings correctly, only your friends and family should have access to view this information. And seeing that they likely already have this information, there's no need to post it online. On the off-chance that someone does hack into your page, your exposed information lends itself to identity theft or potentially even stalkers.
Become Password Savvy.
When trying to come up with a secure password, don't use things like yourchild's name, or your birthday, or anything that could be easily guessed. It's important to remember to not use the same password for everything. Also make sure you have a good mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols, and keep it longer than eight characters. It's recommended to change this password at least once every three months.
If you've used the same, easily hack-able password for several sites and it falls into the hands of cybercriminals, they may sell the information to telemarketing scams, use it to pull a credit card scam or for identity theft, or use it to break into your accounts to steal more information.
I'm glad I was able to study a subject that interests me a lot. I now have a better understanding of the social networking sites . During those months of research, I learned, slowly, tomore easily find the right information that was difficult at first.
