Default Downloading at the Office

Guys

As one that was cautioned, a few years back, against downloading MP3s by my office's IT security people, I am well aware how seriously some offices can take certain internet issues.

For example, installing unauthorised software on an office PC is a disciplinary offence, which can lead to the perpetrator being fired. Plus, P2P software is seen as extremely dangerous because it can allow confidential data to be uploaded (to a competitor’s PC) in double quick time.

I would advise anyone planning to install any P2P app on an office PC “don’t” unless you think the risk of getting fired is worth it or negligible.



UK Bob
