The characteristics of social media are: reach, accessibility, immediacy, and permanence paradox. The extent of media invasion of privacy is discussed in this chapter, and ethical dilemmas are raised. Social networks are regarded as the main reasons for the decrease of productivity and other unanticipated confidential problems, which a company may face.

Relevant current issues in Network Security include: authentication, integrity, confidentiality, non-repudiation, and authorization.
