Abstract

See full text

A hardware or software firewall may be installed within a private network. The firewall may intercept a first set of login credentials entered into a login interface of a social media platform. The firewall then checks that the first set of login credentials are correct against a first set of reference login credentials stored in a firewall memory, and sends a second set of login credentials to the login interface of the social media platform. This allows business employees to access a corporate social media profile from a private network but not outside the private network. The firewall can also limit social media interactions using the firewall by limiting the other profiles that a user's profile can interact with (e.g., using a whitelist, blacklist, or reputation score), by limiting communication types (e.g., using a whitelist or blacklist), by imposing firewall policies, or some combination thereof.
