Harriet Pearson of IBM on Privacy in Enterprise Social Media

Harriet Pearson,Vice President, Security Counsel & Chief Privacy Officer at IBM, discussed Social Media in the Enterprise and how employees must consider both their public and corporate social media presences. There are challenges for security and corporate information as well as for brand reputation.

IBM started codifying their policies for blogging and participation in 2005. They continue to encourage employees to participate online, and have simple rules for engagement.

Recently IBM commissioned a survey with over 3000 people in 5 or 6 different countries, to see what they think about security, privacy, trust and the social web. Harriet covers some of the results in our discussion.

She also discusses the balance between sharing and being private online.
