“Blogging is rapidly emerging as a threat to Internet users”

According to Janus Risk Management, reading this blog may be a risky activity, especially if you work for a corporation. You see, you might actually get some ideas that have not been pre-approved by the powers that be. According to the summary of their latest research document ($1,065.00 for a site license), Janus feels that:

  1. Blogging is rapidly emerging as a threat to Internet users.
  2. While blogs have a legitimate use, online journals pose serious threats to enterprise confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
  3. This presentation is designed for distribution to employees to raise their awareness of the importance of using extreme caution if and when it becomes necessary to visit blogs as part of the employee’s job performance.

But don’t be alarmed. Janus provides corporations with three Blog Acceptable Use Policy options to reduce their risks:

  1. ZERO TOLERANCE
  2. LIMITED USE
  3. PERMISSIONED USE

So for all of you who were concerned that working in the knowledge economy might actually require that you think for yourself; never fear. The corporate elite are ensuring that you won’t have to.

If you continue to read this blog, remember that you have been warned ;-)
