Google searching for trouble

Many organisations feel that the “search across computers” poses an unacceptable risk, ZDNet News reports. The software also stores some information on Google servers, which many managers feel is a security risk.

Organisations including Amtrak, Coutts Retail Communications UK, the London Borough of Newham, Key Equipment Finance and others are currently banning or are in the process of banning the software.

This is not the first Google software release to create management headaches: Google Earth has already been banned by several companies because of the adverse effects on network resources.
