Companies value the opportunities web 2.0 has to offer but are failing to protect against the risks it carries, a new study has suggested.
Research from Forrester found that while 95 per cent of businesses surveyed cited an appreciation for applications such as wikis, blogs and content sharing, most were concerned about security and the same proportion had not implemented any risk-prevention measures, reports IT Week.
Threats posed by web 2.0 were reported to include RSS feed hacking and malicious codes embedded in PDFs.
Andrew Kellett of analyst firm Butler Group told the news provider: "It's about web and filtering solutions and data loss prevention and aligning solutions to ensure that everything is protected when facilities used outside the network connect back in."
In related news, new research from comScore has found that US visitors to social networking websites are substantially more likely to visit leisure-based retail sites based around items such as jewellery, music or accessories.
