Abstract
ABSTRACT The rapid adoption and increased availability of social media has brought dynamic changes to the way people and organizations access and distribute information. Use of social media carries an inherent risk. Organizations use policies to encourage acceptable and responsible use of social media while limiting the activities they perceive as causing the most risk. This article will explore the social media policies of the Department of Defense by using a previously established methodology to determine if the policies are sufficiently addressing the risk as well as encouraging responsible use. The aim of this study is to provide recommendations based on the analysis and review of the policies.
期刊介绍:
As information technology and the Internet become more and more ubiquitous and pervasive in our daily lives, there is an essential need for a more thorough understanding of information security and privacy issues and concerns. The International Journal of Information Security and Privacy (IJISP) creates and fosters a forum where research in the theory and practice of information security and privacy is advanced. IJISP publishes high quality papers dealing with a wide range of issues, ranging from technical, legal, regulatory, organizational, managerial, cultural, ethical and human aspects of information security and privacy, through a balanced mix of theoretical and empirical research articles, case studies, book reviews, tutorials, and editorials. This journal encourages submission of manuscripts that present research frameworks, methods, methodologies, theory development and validation, case studies, simulation results and analysis, technological architectures, infrastructure issues in design, and implementation and maintenance of secure and privacy preserving initiatives.
