SOCIAL COMPUTING
Social computing is also playing a very important role as it is much easier to connect to an increased targeted audience through social media than any other traditional methods. With the advent of Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites, larger enterprises will try to use those for their benefits. The IT industry needs to shape up to accommodate the IT demands for social media effectively and quickly.
Adaptation of social media platforms continuously introduces an additional set of vulnerabilities towards the consumer segment. Also, when many technology trends and technologies combine, they have a much greater impact. Hence, implementing the right security needs in such situations becomes a complicated task.
