Risks Of Social Network

Hello ma' dudes!

Today Im going to explain you some about:
-Risks Of Social Network
-Habits Of Effective Social Network
-Propietary Software VS Free Software
-Types Of Software Licenses

When you use a social network you are giving free acess to your personal data, every one can enter to your profile and see all your data.
Also your photos can be published by any one with any propose, this means that you can find  a photo some were you don't want it.

Fraud On Social Network

Many investors use the Internet and social media to help them with investment decisions. While these online tools can provide many benefits for investors, these same tools can make attractive targets for criminals. Criminals are quick to adapt to new technologies – and the Internet is no exception.

The Internet is a useful way to reach a mass audience without spending a lot of time or money. A website, online message, or social media site can reach large numbers with minimum effort. It's easy for fraudsters to make their messages look real and credible and sometimes hard for investors to tell the difference between fact and fiction. That's why you should think twice before you invest your money in any opportunity you find online.

The key to avoiding investment fraud on social media sites or elsewhere on the Internet is to be an educated investor. To learn specific steps you can take, see What You Can Do to Avoid Investment Fraud. Below, we tell you where various types of fraud may show up online such as Social media, Online investment newsletters, Online bulletin boards and chat rooms and Spam

Identity Theft:

Identity (ID) theft is a crime where a thief steals your personal information, such as your full name or social security number, to commit fraud. The identity thief can use your information to fraudulently apply for credit, file taxes, or get medical services. These acts can damage your credit status, and cost you time and money to restore your good name. You may not know that you are the victim of ID theft until you experience a financial consequence (mystery bills, credit collections, denied loans) down the road from actions that the thief has taken with your stolen identity.

Loss Of Privacy:

Most of us are connected to one social network or another. For some, it is a necessity and for many others, a great source of income. Should it then come as a surprise that it is also one of the worst breaches of privacy ever invented? We are ready to unveil information that we would never share in public to an online audience so large that we may not even estimate its size. Participation in social media networks leads to a loss of personal information on a scale not previously thought possible before. Plagued with advertisers stealing user information, these networks restrict on what can't be shared and give anybody the power to report what their friends are doing anytime. Social media has an important impact on society due to the rampant abuse of personal information and the loss of privacy

Whenever a user writes a post, shares a photo or likes a product's page, that user is sending a very large amount of data to everyone who is on his/her friends list, and to many agencies that aren't. These agencies comprise of advertisers, marketing analysts, other social researchers and salesmen. The information obtained can then potentially be shared with any number of advertising, spamming and marketing firms.

While it is not criminal to share user information for the purposes of advertising on their own website, there is always the threat that information would be shared with other less ethical parties. Social networks don't generate enough money to sustain themselves on their own and this is why they have to share their users' information with advertisers, trade of this sort keeps them afloat. It is also important that the users be protected from having their information stolen by third parties.

Mark Zuckergerg, founder of Facebook, argues that the loss of privacy is a social norm that we have acquired recently and that it is only normal for everyone to know everything that others are doing.

Acces To Unsuitable Content:

What you think is inappropriate material for your child will probably differ from your child’s view or that of other parents. It will also depend on your child’s age and maturity level. Inappropriate content includes information or images that upset your child, material that’s directed at adults, inaccurate information or information that might lead or tempt your child into unlawful or dangerous behaviour. This could be:

• pornographic material
• content containing swearing
• sites that encourage vandalism, crime, terrorism, racism, eating disorders, even suicide
• pictures, videos or games which show images of violence or cruelty to other people or animals
• gambling sites
• unmoderated Chatrooms – where there’s no one supervising the conversation and barring unsuitable comments.

It can be difficult to monitor what your child is viewing as they can access this material through any internet enabled device, including mobile ones such as a phone or tablet. Sometimes your child may stumble upon unsuitable sites by accident, through apps they’ve downloaded to their mobile device or through links they’ve been sent by friends, chatting to others online, or even through inter-device communication systems such as Bluetooth or Apple’s AirDrop.

Cyber Bullying

-What is it?

Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place using electronic technology. Electronic technology includes devices and equipment such as cell phones, computers, and tablets as well as communication tools including social media sites, text messages, chat, and websites.

Examples of cyberbullying include mean text messages or emails, rumors sent by email or posted on social networking sites, and embarrassing pictures, videos, websites, or fake profiles.

-How To Prevent It:

Establish rules about appropriate use of computers, cell phones, and other technology. For example, be clear about what sites they can visit and what they are permitted to do when they’re online. Show them how to be safe online.

Help them be smart about what they post or say. Tell them not to share anything that could hurt or embarrass themselves or others. Once something is posted, it is out of their control whether someone else will forward it.

Encourage kids to think about who they want to see the information and pictures they post online. Should complete strangers see it? Real friends only? Friends of friends? Think about how people who aren’t friends could use it.

Tell kids to keep their passwords safe and not share them with friends. Sharing passwords can compromise their control over their online identities and activities.

-Report Cyber Bullying

• Don’t respond to and don’t forward cyberbullying messages.
• Keep evidence of cyberbullying. Record the dates, times, and descriptions of instances when cyberbullying has occurred. Save and print screenshots, emails, and text messages. Use this evidence to report cyberbullying to web and cell phone service providers.
• Block the person who is cyberbullying.

-Habits Of Effective Network Security

Make Better Use Of Intelligence

Successful cybersecurity organizations have made a commitment to security intelligence. Compared to lower performers, the best organizations are six times as likely to have deployed a SIEM and four times as likely to invest in machine-readable threat intelligence. They're also six times as likely to use automated tools that alert them to new devices appearing on the network.

Instill Cooperation Between Network, Security, And App Teams

Bottom-tier organizations tend to be more siloed than their counterparts. Cooperation among network operations staff, security staff, and application teams is the name of the game in top-tier organizations, with 100% of them reporting this as a best practice compared to just half of bottom-tier organizations. The high performers are also nine times as likely to use integrated visibility tools and four times as likely to use integrated security tools.

Leverage DNS/DHCP Data

This is a growing differentiator between the security haves and have-nots. Close to half of top-tier organizations use DNS/DHCP data to discover new devices, compared to zero bottom-tier contenders. The best organizations are also three times as likely to use DNS logs for security purposes.

Automate Basic Tasks

Manual processes kill bottom-tier performance and the best orgs recognize that. Almost all top performers have automated routine tasks--including configuration management and compliance tracking. That's three to four times more likely than the average laggard organization.

Invest In Security Staff

This may seem like a no-brainer gimme, but the top-tier organizations are performing well because they're investing in their security staff. These leading orgs are three times less likely to report being understaffed for security and 58% say they have a dedicated incident response team, compared to 33% of the laggards.

-Propietary VS Free Software

The term open source refers to software whose source code — the medium in which programmers create and modify software — is freely available on the Internet; by contrast, the source code for proprietary commercial software is usually a closely guarded secret.

The most well-known example of open source software is the Linux operating system, but there are open source software products available for every conceivable purpose.

Open source software is distributed under a variety of licensing terms, but almost all have two things in common: the software can be used without paying a license fee, and anyone can modify the software to add capabilities not envisaged by its originators.

A standard is a technology specification whose details are made widely available, allowing many companies to create products that will work interchangeably and be compatible with each other. Any modern technology product relies on thousands of standards in its design — even the gasoline you put in your car is blended to meet several highly-detailed specifications that the car’s designers rely on.

For a standard to be considered an open standard, the specification and rights to implement it must be freely available to anyone without signing non-disclosure agreements or paying royalties. The best example of open standards at work is the Internet — virtually all of the technology specifications it depends on are open, as is the process for defining new ones.

An Application Programming Interface (API) is a feature of a software application that allows other software to inter-operate with it, automatically invoking its functionality and exchanging data with it. The definition of an API is a form of technology standard. The term open API doesn’t yet have a universally accepted definition, but it’s generally expected to be “open” in the same manner as an open standard.

The common theme of “openness” in the above definitions is the ability of diverse parties to create technology that interoperates. When evaluating your organization’s current and anticipated software needs, consider a solution’s capability to interoperate as an important criterion. To extend the value of your technology investment, select a software solution that is based on open standards and APIs that facilitate interoperability and has the capability for direct integration between various vendors’ products.
