What is currently the biggest security threats to employees and employers?

Not going, but want to get the latest drop on employee internet threats?

Spyware, P2P and misuse of Instant Messenger along with inappropriate employee internet use has been making the headlines recently due to high profile employers being forced into dismissing people on grounds of legal liability and the British record industry clamping down on illegal P2P use during work hours.

Now more than ever, HR departments, recruiters and employers need to know what they can do to what to prevent such issues.

During InfoSec, Europeís largest security event, Websense, the leading provider of employee internet management solutions, will be unveiling:

Web&Work Research - Global survey of 100 Employees on web surfing habits in the workplace, the dangers (Spyware, P2P, MMC, IM) impact on productivity levels (neg and pos) and what measures have been put in place by companies of varying sizes. This is not being released until the 29/04/04 but happy to brief under embargo.

Meet Mr Spyware - Dan Hubbard, Webenseís Director of Security and Technology Research, is responsible for tracking and understanding the emerging threats of the internet and developing solution to counter them. He also has a off the wall take on the social engineering of internet users and how HR Mangers can become better at their jobs if they understand employee motivations concerning the internet

Getting HR and Staff buy-in on security @ how to set an employee internet policy - Instead of simply singing the praises of their own product release, Websense have invited Northcliffe Newspapers to be available for interviews on the Tuesday 27th April. Northcliffe will be able to discuss the needs that drove the Websense security implementation, ROI and getting staff buy-in on security policies and how to set employee internet policies.

Empowering the HR department - After the IM Blocker application, Websense will be announcing the final piece in the security puzzle, Client Policy Manager. CPM does for applications what Websense Enterprise does for URL categorisation, allowing HR and IT to work closer together to set, manage and enforce employee internet polices, giving them peace of mind over what applications users can run on their machines, preventing inadvertent, or sometimes malicious use of P2P technology, Spyware, Mobile malicious code, and IM.
