Online security and privacy can matter a lot, both to individuals and to organizations. A lapse can mean anything from embarrassment to financial loss… and even physical danger.

But we’re living in the social media age, with all sorts of opportunities – and incentives – to disclose even intimate aspects of our personal and professional lives.
