Collaboration in the Cloud - The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Today's cyber environment and cloud solutions allow easy and ubiquitous information sharing and collaboration. However this sharing is not always as we intend, and if some simple rules aren't followed can result in your valuable information reaching far beyond your trusted colleagues. We'll discuss the benefits and pitfalls of this new way of cyber collaboration.
