Threats and risks likely to arise from using IT based communication within a large company.


Some threats form using IT based communication in a large company is that you can get a virus this would be very bad for your computer, if you had a virus it could affect some of the computers within the large company you work. There is also little risks like if you forget your password this obviously can be fixed easily but can hamper employees. Another problem is that if you are hacked then there would be serious problems as people would see key information and possible company secrets.  Most threats are caused by people trying to hack into the companies computers or if a virus gets in this is why it is important to have up to date and effective security.

Risks And Safety Issues With Social Networking Sites


There are some issues with social networking sites a few are problems with safety. Some issues are that with social networking sites such as Facebook are prone to having advertisements and sometimes pop ups this is a problem as some links and pop ups cause viruses but sometimes that cannot be prevented but something that can be prevented is the amount of people that give crucial information out such as : if they  are going to be on holiday or some company information sometimes you just need to think about what you are typing and the possible repercussions and safety issues and that would rapidly decrease. You should also not click on links unless you know its ok or you might face a virus. There are also people who are key loggers who when you have clicked a link can see what you are typing so they can see information about you like pin codes and passwords, this can be prevented by not clicking on unfamiliar advertisements or websites.

       Why Blogspot is an effective method of communication ?



There are many reasons why Blogspot is an effective method of communication, Blogspot is handy as it is accessible from a mobile device, this is handy as there are very few websites and blogs that have this capability. Your uploads and work can also be seen this is handy in a school or work situation, it would be far more handy to use Blogspot than Facebook. A very good feature is that you get email notifications to let you know about changes on your Blogspot and if someone has uploaded or commented on a video or on your website. Another good point is that it is easily accessible at home/work or on the move this makes Blogspot a good website and an effective method of communication and far superior then other blog sites.
