Corporate security in a Web 2.0 world

As more and more businesses are getting into the world of online applications, corporate security is in danger of being compromised.
Malicious and Web API hackers have been increasingly penetrating online applications and exposing valuable corporate data. After all, its a lot easier to hack into an open API development platform than it is to break into someones personal computer. Its a scary situation where personal shopping habits, communication, and documents could get snapped up and read, sifted through and potentially sold on the open market of identity theft.
That said, Google has started to integrate in the assets of their Postini security purchase into their business Apps to stop any attacks, and Yahoo is rolling out a special spam initiative to alleviate the chance that employees could click on malicious links in documents.
