Now Your Organization Can Harness The Power Of The Internet, Whilst Minimizing The Risks Resulting From Misuse.”

Dear Colleague,

The Internet offers organizations a whole new way of commerce, whether it be to transact business with customers and suppliers or to conduct research into a new idea, market or competitor. As such the Internet is an extraordinary powerful tool now embedded within established business processes.


So, What Are The Risks?

As outlined above, the power of the Internet can be harnessed to provide significant benefits within organizations. Conversely, if not used appropriately, it can present a number of risks if not sufficiently controlled. These risks include:
 

Key email risk factors:
 

Breach of confidentiality
   
Damage to reputation
   
Lost productivity
   
Legal liability
   
Damage to IT systems and electronic files
   
Increasing IT network traffic

Let's take a look at the potential risks one by one...


Breach of Confidentiality
Confidentiality breaches are caused most frequently by staff within a company. Confidential information can include the company’s strategic direction, sensitive product data (e.g. a new product yet to be released), sales information, prospective and current contracts, or information about other employees.

Breaches using Internet-based personal email systems, instant messaging services, chat rooms, news groups and bulletin boards rather than the organization’s email system are likely to be deliberate. These could be caused by a disgruntled employee or someone about to resign and join a competitor.

Damage to Reputation
There is little question that the content of a message published to a chat room, news group or bulletin board using a staff member’s company email address can affect its reputation, especially if it contains offensive or inappropriate material.


10 Downing Street was famously subjected to adverse publicity in the press when it sacked 3 workers for downloading hardcore pornographic images.

 



Lost Productivity
As the Internet provides access to a wealth of information and content on almost any subject imaginable, there is significant temptation for personal use by staff. Numerous surveys tell us that a significant proportion of work time is lost to personal use of the Internet.

Legal Liability

Employers have an obligation to protect staff in the workplace from content of a racist or offensive nature. If Internet usage is not sufficiently policed, employees who are exposed to such content by other staff’s use of the Internet may have recourse to the courts should the matter not be addressed promptly.

Additionally, the downloading by staff of files via the Internet (e.g. software, data, music, pictures, video etc.) whether intentionally or unintentionally, may infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties, exposing the organization to possible legal action.
 


27% of Fortune 500 companies have battled harassment claims stemming from employee misuse of email and Internet systems.

 


Damage to IT Systems and Electronic Documents
As anyone who has suffered can attest to, the introduction of a virus to an individual PC or corporate network has the potential to cause enormous havoc, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. If not sufficiently protected, documents may be destroyed and unrecoverable and significant time may be required to recover PCs damaged in the virus attack.

Increasing IT Network Traffic
Personal use of the Internet may result in staff downloading resource intensive web pages or large files (e.g. software, data, music, pictures, video etc.) which take up unnecessary network bandwidth which, especially on smaller networks, can have a detrimental effect on business related network traffic.


70% of Internet porn traffic occurs between the hours of 9am and 5pm.
