Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein provide a system, method, and computer readable storage medium storing computer instructions for secure communication among enterprise users who are members of social networking sites. Software implemented on a server within the enterprise that handles all traffic to and from the social networking sites may encrypt a post intended for a social networking site and forward the encrypted data or may save the post locally and send a placeholder to the social networking site. The server may receive a request containing the encrypted data or placeholder and determine that the recipient is authorized to view the original post. The server may then decrypt the data or retrieve the original post for servicing the request. In this way, authorized users of the enterprise can utilize the social networking site, which is independent of and external to the enterprise, to communicate with each other in a secure manner.
