Web 2.0 brings Threat 2.0. The web is changing fast from a one-way medium for ‘brochure-ware’ to a highly interactive, sophisticated and increasingly mission-critical platform. The new, ‘Web 2.0’ applications – from social networking to tagging, blogging and presence-aware services like IM – reflect the new web-enabled relationships forming between individuals and enterprises.

More than the steps listed here, it’s important to focus on the principles behind the steps, including: policy, vigilance, simplification, automation and transparency. Putting these principles into action starts with the steps listed here. |
