Security & Privacy Settings

Imagine you work as a human resources manager at a large financial organization. You've been asked to train new employees in the security and privacy standards expected from them in your office. Your work has strict policies about social media use. These newcomers might not be used to protecting their personal information online.
Create a set of rules for the office that ensures employee safety and security. The rules should be practical and easy to understand.
Next, research the options of several popular social media platforms online and create guidelines for each. Make sure that your rules and guidelines address each of the following:

• Standards of behavior
• Privacy settings on each platform
• Common mistakes and dangers

Create a presentation that clearly outlines each of your rules. You should also cover the specific guidelines for use of at least two popular social media platforms. You can make your presentation using presentation software, word processing software, or make it by hand using poster board.
During your research, you can refer to the unit, but you should also include at least some online research from reliable sources. Also look at the tools and options offered by each of the social media platforms you cover. Some popular social media platforms to consider are
Facebook
Twitter
Instagram
