Are your staffers inviting this major security breach?
File-sharing software can help to ensure finance staffers don’t duplicate their efforts … or it can leave you wide open to a costly rift in security.
While some companies have enjoyed the convenience of peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing networks to share info and eliminate extra work, other firms’ experiences have been anything but positive.
Why? File-sharing software can expose employees’ personal info to hackers and result in debacles like the occurrence at Pfizer.
What happened: Because one Pfizer employee installed an unauthorized file-sharing program, 17,000 company employees had personal info compromised.
To safeguard your company from potential problems, experts suggest making sure IT blocks any downloadable file-sharing software that connects to your network.
