"The challenge for organizations
is that many Web 2.0 applications were designed for consumers,
not for business users whose online activities can have dire
consequences for their organizations if the tools are used irresponsibly,"
said Brian Burke, program director for IDC' s Security Products program.
"The market is ripe for solutions that can allow employee
use of Web 2.0 tools responsibly without sacrificing security and
regulatory compliance requirements."
