For those not yet aware, SecureMySocial, which has been included in the CyberSecurity 500 multiple times, protects businesses and people from the risks of potentially problematic social media usage by warning users of social media in real time if they are making posts that could harm themselves or their employers. If so authorized, it can also automatically delete bad posts. By offering SecureMySocial to employees, businesses may reduce their exposure to bad publicity, human resource issues, lawsuits, and regulatory fines.
