LinkedIn Contacts - Friend or Foe?




As social media continues to play a major role in our professional lives, it's important for organisations to be mindful of how their employees interact on platforms such as LinkedIn. While LinkedIn is a great tool for networking and promoting your business, it can also be used by hostile state actors or criminals to gather sensitive information or facilitate cyber attacks.

To prevent this from happening, organisations should check their employees' LinkedIn profiles and ensure that they are up-to-date and accurate. This includes verifying their current role and responsibilities, as well as any connections they may have with individuals or organisations that could pose a security risk.

It's also important for employees to be mindful of the information they share on their profiles, and to avoid disclosing any sensitive or confidential information that could be used by criminals or hostile state actors. This includes avoiding the use of personal email addresses or phone numbers on their profiles, as well as refraining from sharing any information about company operations or projects.
