Your boss is spying on you

Do you work for a large company? If so, did you know that they probably already pay people to read your outgoing email?

A recent emal and content security survey conducted by Proofpoint, Inc, has revealed that the decision makers in large corporations are becoming so concerned over sensitive or embarrassing information “leaking out” to the competition, that they’re willing to spend good money on protecting their trade secrets, intellectual property and whatever strategic advantages they may have. Apparently nearly half of those organisations surveyed in the US and the UK already employ humans whose job is to read and analyse all outbound email.

So, be careful what you say in that email (including webmail), blog post or message board. Your job could be on the line.
