Top 8 Web 2.0 Security Threats

The Secure Enterprise 2.0 Forum has just released their 2009 industry report on top Web 2.0 security threats. This document attempts to identify the security risks that operators of Web 2.0 sites face. They point out 8 specific risks that leave a Web 2.0 site vulnerable and a risk to those using the website. Vulnerable Web 2.0 sites of course pose a risk for the proxy administrator, trying to keep malware and viruses off the corporate network.

This is just a good reminder to those of us who are IT administrators to keep our proxies and web filtering software up to date and to make sure we have some type of anti-malware running on our proxy systems.
