The Top Six Risks of Employee Internet Use and How to Stop Them

When it comes to your employees’ use of the Internet, it isnt wise to underestimate the potential for damage to your organization. From a network used by dedicated scientific intellectuals devoted to honest research, the Internet has grown to become the worlds biggest clearinghouse for information of all kinds. At the same time, it has become a haven for inappropriate behavior and systems attacks, as well as posing a liability for any company that doesnt appropriately manage their employees’ Internet use. Due to the serious nature of many threats, the Internet use of even one unmonitored employee on a single unmanaged system can ravage a companys internal network, irrevocably delete critical data, and ultimately ruin the companys ability to conduct business. Situations like this arent works of fiction, but actual everyday occurrences for organizations with unprotected networks. Read this white paper to learn more about how to protect your organization from these threats.

Stop Complaining about Sarbox

Enough is enough, says Paul Deninger. vcs must either plan for it or accept the consequences if and when the time comes to go public. Jefferies’ Paul Deninger minces no words: “I’m sick and tired of hearing about Sarbanes-Oxley.” He continues by asserting that the VC industry refuses to invest in the accounting systems needed to support Sarbox until companies are ready to go public, which is the reason it costs so much. If a private company waits six to eight years, building itself into $30 or $40 million in revenue operations in a couple of countries, Sarbox compliance will be expensive, to say the least. However, since 2000, only about 10% of companies exit by IPO. With 90% of VC-funded companies exiting via M&A, most vcs see investing in Sarbox in anticipation of an IPO as just wasted venture dollars.
