Standoff, checkmate, impasse, Catch-22, predicament, quandary.... which best describes the dilemma faced by security professionals as they attempt to secure social media within their organisations?

There's no doubt social media brings benefits and has helped to vastly improve the cloud, but what are the pitfalls, how do we avoid them and how should an organisation strike up a balance between productivity, profit and risk?

Our next London event, which is for members or first-time-guests only, will explore security issues surrounding the social media cloud, look at unique ways to solve the phishing challenge with a talk by PhishMe and we also welcome Qualys to share their views.

The event is kindly hosted by PWC, will be held at their prestigious London headquarters and starts at 16:30 through to 19:30, followed by networking drinks.

We appreciate you all have busy schedules and we try to accomodate by starting late afternoon, but do feel free just to come to the drinks afterwards if you cannot make the event due to work commitments - it would be great to see you.
