New security application.
Many companies have begun using Facebook to connect with and market to their customers but Facebook is vulnerable spam and links to malware just like any other site. Not to worry, there is new product to help keep your Facebook page secure. Below are a couple of paragraphs from an article by Adam Ely, an author for Information Week.
"Today Websense released what is touted as the
first security application for Facebook, developed via its recently
acquired Defensio brand. Facebook users can now monitor their pages for
unwanted content, including spam comments, profanity, and links to
malware. This could be valuable for companies that want to control
their online images and brands.
Facebook users add the application, choose which settings to activate,
and receive alerts when content is posted that violates their policies.
Besides monitoring for profanity and spam comments, users can disallow
links based on URL categories. All URLs are scanned in real time and
compared with Websense’s URL database."
