CDW reveals social media study

According to a new social media survey by CDW LLC, organizations may not be fully using social media due to concerns about maintaining the integrity of confidential information and threats to information security. The survey revealed that 83 percent of corporate IT decision makers and 92 percent of federal government IT decision makers cite information security as their top concern regarding the use of social media in their organizations. Just over half (51 percent) of IT decision makers at organizations using social media say clear policies about the use of social media have not been provided to employees, contributing to concerns about how information is used and controlled.
