It goes without saying that social media users are very active in the world today and it is very important that you be careful when using it. It's crucial that online users understand social media risks and the caution to use when sharing personal information online. The biggest risk to your data, or that of your company, could be very well linked to the way you use social media.

You need to make sure that your employees aren’t opening your business up to potential threats like malware, viruses and other breaches by using social media within the corporate network. Protecting your data and proprietary information is very important. You need to educate your employees on the best-practices of using social media during work hours and how to avoid those tactics that could cause a company-wide infection. Your marketplace may also face large regulatory fines if you are not in compliance.

The threat is real folks, but as long as you have the correct policies and guidelines in place you don't have a thing to worry about. Safety is very important to Near Me and we just had Max Wesman from GoodHire join us to discuss the importance of Trust and Safety, and what marketplaces can do to protect their employees and customers in last week’s podcast. Good luck and feel free to reach out with any thoughts or questions anytime.
