Do your employees know the 5 most dangerous types of websites?

You probably can’t stop employees from surfing the Web. You can at least let them know which sites present the worst threats to your system’s security.

A new study from security firm Symantec shows that while pornographic and other illicit sites are dangerous, they’re not the biggest threats out there.

Websites that employees are likely — and innocently — to visit throughout the day have quickly turned into the most dangerous ones to access.

The site categories that you’ll need to be particularly careful around, according to Symantec:

• blogs and web communications

• business and economy

• education and reference

• technology, and

• entertainment and music.

Those sites have the highest likelihood of transmitting some form of malware or virus.
