The changes brought about by Web 2.0 are as follows – Web acting as an application platform, democratizing the web, and employing new methodologies to pass the information. In web 2.0, the power over the content has shifted from administration to end users – therefore, web 2.0 is called read/write web (Wright &Zdinak, n.d). The second generation has given users the availability to contribute content and develop an environment feasible for internet operations (Wright &Zdinak, n.d). Parallelly, the content and the networks are linked together rather than differentiating as web and services. Impact on the change of behavior With the advent of technology, users have been affected the most. This change has been brought to both. Individual-level and corporate-level. There is a drastic change in the attitude of individual users. With the increase of internet usage, numerous people have been joining internet communities to communicate or entertain (Wright &Zdinak, n.d). The users have changed from passive receivers to active creators and contributors (Wright &Zdinak, n.d). At the corporate-level, enterprise 2.0 has brought many new methodologies to accommodate the finance for web 2.0 and the communication amongst the employees. Enterprise 2.0 has brought changes to the mode of information-passing and developing a shared knowledge amongst the employees (Wright &Zdinak, n.d). Social media and web 2.0 security With the advent of technologies, social media usage has increased at a high rate. These applications posed a severe threat at the enterprise level, including malicious threats, data loss, and network traffic. With web 2.0, securing these applications have become complex. Almeida (2012) mentions that the major security threats include – malware introduction, virus introduction, information overexposure, spyware increase, spam volume increase, exposed entry points, and data leaks. Like a new technology has a new problem, it does have a unique solution as well. The web2.0 application should be part of organization management and implement policies to restrict employee usage (Almeida, 2012). Almeida (2012) mentions that the guidelines to be followed while formulating such policies are – a) policy should be created after consulting all the stakeholders, b) policy should be based on the principles, c) policies should be communicated, and d) policies should be aligned with the existing operations.

This is an effective process where the misunderstandings between the users and data providers will be reduced. The application of a new one by web 2.0, has ensured in changing the behavior of internet users (García-Marín et al., 2020). The main reason behind these changes was it offers a place to get a better way of communication and interactions among various users. The concept of web 2.0 brings drastic changes in the internet users where they are allowed to apply this technology in their business operations that helps them to deal with the information by appropriately managing their relations by resulting in positive outcomes. With these changes, the user took the opportunity of gaining some knowledge with exchangeable options and with social organization forms. The technology web 2.0 makes people aware of their work through the formation of a group and allows them to work on a spreadsheet (Mabi? et al., 2019). This helps any individual company to notify their changes even from any place. the changes by web 2.0 were founded to be good where they can be available under feasible time and the process was easy. Many people feel comfortable with this technology as they gain knowledge for the creation of dynamic learning communities. Communication with this technology brought many changes were it directs to every organization and it includes social media even. This posses some security measures where it protects the technology from various cyber-attacks. In social networks and even in the privacy field, this technology plays a vital role. This creates a suitable platform that makes organizations and even people feel comfortable under direct contacts (Silva Leite, 2019). References García-Marín, D., & Aparici, R. (2020).
