I doubt it is only 40% who suffered a security breach because of lack of Internet monitoring, unless it is per month. Many such incidents go unreported and even unnoticed and this makes me think the figure is much higher.

Many SMBs across the United States, Canada, and most developed and developing countries across the globe don’t utilize any type of Internet monitoring system to their offices simply because they think it’s not needed – they’re not like corporations where employees can number more than a thousand. They thought their small number is an advantage and that they can easily monitor without having to install several software solutions.

Maybe in the past this works. But at present, where employees’ browsing habits have gone haywire, all types of businesses should have some sort of Internet monitoring system in place.

That 24% who say they’re doing it solely to improve employee productivity really need to consider whether or not their web monitoring policy is really effective in the age of smartphones and other personal media devices.

1 out of 3 SMBs does not have social media employee usage policy – this just proves that SMBs have a lot to learn when it comes to online security. I mean, they’re already at the doorsteps of hackers and spammers. Productivity-wise, companies that don’t have this kind of policy is keeping a tab on ways on how to destroy their own enterprise.

In the current company I’m with, it has several specific and general rules about browsing social media sites – Facebook and Twitter mostly. The policy itself is printed on the company handbook. It’s also oriented on the first day an employee starts his or her work at the office.
