Most
companies have done something to protect and secure their
network from external threats. Starting from anti-virus to
anti-spam, anti-spyware, content filter, and firewall. While
these Internet securities may be good enough to secure corporate
network, they don't prevent information breaches from company
employee.
Employee
are knowingly or unknowingly leaking sensitive information to
the outside world. The best Internet securities won't stop
information breaches from inside.
Using
Content Filter to prevent employee visiting non-work related web
site is a good start. Content
Filtering
software does not address the problem of keeping Company
Confidential Information secure. Employee can easily copy and
transfer large amount of data to free on-line storage services.
Content
filtering software won't stop abuse of company Internet. While
it can block some web sites your employee like to visit,
it also blocks many
of the sites you want your employees to be able to access for
business purposes. Finally, what is appropriate for one employee
in one department may be off limits for an employee in another
department.
As if it
wasn't difficult enough for companies to manage security, IT
Managers also have to make sure their own employees aren't
jeopardizing the security of data on a network. One answer to
this dilemma is network monitoring and surveillance software, so
call "spy software".
Unlike content
filtering software, activity monitoring software monitor, record
activities, archive data for review or investigation.
Spector CNE is by far the most advance activity monitoring
software. It is an invisible software agent that can be
installed on any Windows-based PC. It installs invisibly, and
records all user activity on the PC including Web surfing,
application usage, emails, instant messages, and keystrokes.
This may sound like an excessive and unnecessary invasion of
privacy, but if employees aren't performing any illegal
activities, what do they have to hide.
To protect sensitive information from leaking out, and to
increase productivity, company has the right to know how employee spend their time,
and the obligation to protect sensitive information.

PC Activity Monitoring
software is a reassurance tool for management.
Key employee
defection to direct competitor can be a disaster. There must ways to
discourage
printing or
copying of sensitive information to any portable storage media in the days
prior to their departure.
Employees who run business
part time spend more time on their side business than their full time job.
They tend to use company resources to spam.
Productivity
suffer when employees use company computer and high speed Internet for
non-work related activities, and damages can be done to the computer and
the corporate network when employee visit inappropriate sites.
Some employee use
Yahoo, Hotmail, or other web-based email service to avoid being watch,
some download pirate software from web sites with load of spyware, some
spend two hours each day on Instant Messaging.
Up to 80% of corporate
computer crimes and information breaches in North America is a result of
inside jobs.
Ever wonder why the
network is so slow, and yet unable to track down who is downloading
movies, music, and
pornography images?
Any employee suspected
of downloading spyware or malicious code will always denied any such
activity. How do you prove and prevent it?
Companies
can be held liable for employees' improper use of IT equipment,
especially in cases of fraud or intellectual property theft.

Every company has a
story or two to tell. If you have any concern, whether it is
productivity gain or preventing information breaches, you know you can
turn to PC and Internet activity monitoring solution.
Spector CNE is the
most advance PC and Internet activity monitoring solution for the corporate
network you should consider.
Spector CNE is
designed to be installed on any or all PCs on the network, at the touch
of a button, from one central location. Once installed, Spector CNE will
record all employee Internet and PC activity, automatically archive
these recordings to a
centralized server and allow you to review the recordings remotely
anywhre across the network from the Administrator Control Center.
The
Control Center allows you to install, configure and deploy Spector
CNE to any PC on the network, from one central location, without you
ever having to physically touch the computers you wish to monitor. You
can also review the activity recordings from the Control Center, and if
necessary, remove the monitoring software from any computer on the
network.
With Spector CNE, you will have a complete record of
every email sent and received,
every chat conversation and instant message,
every web site visited,
every keystroke typed,
every application launched and
detailed pictures of PC activity via our CNE Visual Recorder technology.
Suspect some employee are using company
computer to download movies or music?
Spector CNE records
Files Transferred over the Internet by keeping track of HTTP, FTP
and P2P file transfers. You will be able to see who is downloading
or uploading files, what file protocol is being used, which service
is being used, the name of the file being transferred and the type
of file being transferred (audio, image, video, software, document).
Want to keep track and
protect sensitive files from leaking out? Spector CNE includes a
Document Tracking feature which allows you to determine whether
files/documents may be exiting your company via removable media such
as floppy, zip, CD, DVD or USB storage devices and memory sticks.
The Document Tracking feature also allows you to track documents
that are printed and who is copying or printing potentially
sensitive files or documents.
The core component of
Spector CNE is the
Recorder. The Recorder will automatically capture and
record all PC and Internet activity, including: Emails sent & received;
Web Based Email Services such as Hotmail, Yahoo mail, etc…; Web Site
Browsing; Chat and Instant Message Conversations; Keystrokes typed;
Applications launched and continuous Snapshot Recording of the PC. It
works much
like a surveillance video system.
Spector CNE allows you to monitor what your employees do
on their PC, on the Internet, and all applications run and all
keystrokes typed are immediately available to you. Just like a VCR
records and plays back, Spector CNE provides you with the total picture
of everything your employee does. If training or other assistance is
necessary to make that employee more productive or proficient, you’re
able to quickly rectify the situation.
Spector CNE will stop inappropriate behaviors
too. It shows you everything that
is happening so you can implement sanctions if policy is abused. Each
employee is now held responsible for their action. Now you can tell
employees that "big brother is watching" over their shoulder.
Time waste playing game on computer and chatting on the Internet will become thing of the past.
With Spector CNE, if abuse occurs, you will know which
employees are using valuable network resources for personal reasons. You
will know exactly what they download, how they spend their time, and the
visual verification management needs for employee discussion or warning.
Should an employee install or download illegal pirated
software, you can immediately diminish company liability by eliminating
programs outside the core products approved for your business.
Managing risk is more than just filtering, firewalls and
passwords. Even if you have filtering software, implementing a Spector
CNE will increase employee productivity, provide a safeguard in the
event of inappropriate employee behavior, and protect your company from
liability.
I think Internet
Activity Monitoring software should
be part of network security for every company, even small non-profit organization
who need to protect customer information. |
