In the news: Vorvoreanu co-authors report on Web 2.0 usage

Mihaela Vorvoreanu, assistant professor of computer graphics technology and organizational leadership and supervision, was one of the main contributors of a new report commissioned by McAfee Inc. about the adoption of Web 2.0 in the workplace.

“Web 2.0: A Complex Balancing Act” was released September 27. It is being called the first global study on Web 2.0 usage, risks and best practices. Vorvoreanu worked with Lorraine Kisselburgh, assistant professor of communication at Purdue, and members of Purdue’s Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security (CERIAS) to analyze survey data and conduct expert interviews to create the final report.

The report finds that there is a high adoption rate of Web 2.0 features, but many organizations worry about security risks related to its use.
