Just in case IT managers' jobs weren't challenging enough this summer, the
Wall Street Journal has provided your enterprise co-workers with some helpful hints on getting around the corporate network for which you are responsible.
Ten Things Your IT Department Won't Tell You is full of advice for the office worker who wants to screw around on the job and cover his or her digital tracks.
Among the tips:
How to send giant files (Answer: Through any number of free online services)
How to visit the web sites your company blocks (Answer: Use a proxy site or Google's translation service)
How to store work files online (Answer: Wait, let me guess...an online storage service!)
While this list may not matter in the hands of workers for whom Secret No. 4 (you can delete your browsing history?!) is a revelation, you can bet corporate computer users more inclined toward testing boundaries will eagerly try some of these out.
Now might be a good time for that memo reiterating corporate network usage policies.
