Conduct Investigations on Employees Suspected of Inappropriate Activity

"Security Managers don't like to talk about it, but one of the greatest threats to business computer systems, networks and data isn't from hackers or competitors. It's from employees..."

Got a problem with employees using the Internet inappropriately? You are not alone.

Almost every company that provides Internet access to its employees has a problem with one or more employees abusing their use of the Internet.

Odds are, you probably already have strong suspicions about certain employees spending too much time online, surfing sites not related to their job. You notice them quickly switching screens when somebody walks by. You notice they are taking a longer time to do their work, or their work isn't getting completed.

Spending a few minutes a day surfing the net leisurely is one thing. Spending several hours a day surfing the net, sending personal emails, chatting with friends, shopping online, reading sports, visiting gambling sites -- that is quite another.

Not only can that loss of productivity pose quite a drain on the performance of your business, but it can also create resentment with your employees who are doing their jobs.

Spector CNE is the right tool for conducting Computer Investigations. From one central location, you can monitor in exact detail what any employee is doing on the computer.

At the touch of a button, select whomever you want to monitor and Spector CNE starts recording emails, chat conversations, instant messages, web sites visited, exactly what they do on those web sites, keystrokes typed, and applications launched.

In addition, by taking screen snapshots, Spector CNE creates the equivalent of a digital surveillance tape so that you can see the exact sequence of everything the employee is doing on the computer.

Spector CNE can hold days, weeks or even months worth of recordings, ensuring that you will be able to review everything the monitored employee has been doing without having to stand over their shoulders or watch them in real-time.
