• Reputation risk - Social networking can create opportunities for employees to leak confidential information or spread damaging rumors online. Bad behavior by a single employee can reflect on the reputation of the whole organization.
• Reduced productivity - If employees spend their time on social networking sites such as Tweeter they are not spending it doing their job.
• Data Leakage - Confidential and sensitive information could be transmitted to unauthorized individuals and competitors. In addition, data that is covered by mandated privacy and security requirements (HIPAA and PCI-DSS) could be exposed.

• Wasted bandwidth - Internet connections cost money. If half of an enterprise's bandwidth is taken up with non-work related traffic, the enterprise could be paying than they need to and the enterprise-critical communications could be running at half their speed capacity.
