Document Tracking Recorder

There are multiple serious security concerns for businesses when employees use company computers to download files from the Internet, and access peer-to-peer services which are loaded with pornographic images, Spyware, Adware.

One major concern is whether employees are sending company confidential information over the Internet. Another concern is whether employees are placing the company at legal risk by downloading copyrighted materials, like music, movies and commercial software. In addition, there is potential risk when an employee downloads pornographic images that will reside on company computers and may be viewed by another employee who would consider such material highly offensive.. Any time a file is downloaded, there is great risk that Spyware and/or Adware will be installed, especially where P2P services are involved.

Snapshots are taken of whatever is on the computer screen at the frequency you choose – as often as once per second. That means you get detailed visual recordings of all chat conversations, instant messages, emails typed and read, all web sites visited, all programs run, all keystrokes typed – all activity on all computers

When a keyword or phrase is detected, Spector 360 immediately jumps into overdrive. Snapshot frequency is automatically increased to ensure that every detail of the offender’s actions is captured as evidence. Additionally, Spector 360 collects information regarding the offense and sends an instant keyword alert via email to the specified IT administrator or appropriate compliance manager
