Re: Allowing access to social networking... securely?

[krymson () gmail com]

I don't think any discussion on Social Networking or employee productivity is complete without mentioning the HR 
component. Too often web filters are crutches (excuses/scapegoats...) for what is otherwise poor management, poor 
employees, and poor HR practice. I don't think productivity should be mentioned or used by IT or security as part of 
the reason for or against filtering/SN.

This is all very easy if HR puts their foot down one way or another, but it is difficult for IT to know what to do with 
questionable personal or social sites when they may not directly have malware, etc...
