Security and privacy engineering for corporate use of social community platforms

Lothar Fritsch

Abstract: Social media platforms are being used for many purposes. As they were successful in accumulating a large number of well-networked user communities over the recent years, those platforms and their communities became interesting for corporate and commercial use. However, the ,,corporate user'' normally is composed of many individual users that implement a subset of corporate functions. This article reviews corporate uses for social media, and presents an overview of information security and information privacy requirements following from these uses. The article concludes with a comment on today’s platforms capabilities to support these requirements.
