Discussion: Social Media Use in IAS Health Care Organizations
More and more organizations are leveraging social media, including applications such as Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn, as part of their communication strategies. In addition to leveraging these applications, some organizations have gone further and have begun to implement a concept known as BYOD or “bring your own device.”
Based on your readings for this unit, discuss some of the IAS strategies, technologies, and methods you would recommend that a health care organization implement to mitigate the potential security risks created through the use of these new technologies and applications. Explain how you would approach a recommendation that attempts to discourage or reject the use of some of these tools, based on an imbalance between their benefits and the risks they pose to the information assets of the organization.
