520 _aTakes a look at, and offers advice on, various IT security hazards faced by companies. For instance, notes the worrying costs in terms of labour and productivity of personal use of the internet and e-mail by employees. Suggests that naming and shaming abusers may not be the best response. Recommends, instead, that businesses allow staff to utilise these services at specific times (e.g. lunchtime or after work). Notes that the cost to companies of computer hackers is far greater. Hacking might involve infiltration of company data or domain name fraud. Recommends companies avoid putting data that might be useful to someone outside the company in an easily distributable format (e.g. disk or e-mail).
