Everyday the media reports countless security incidents involving confidential data which has been lost or stolen. If your company has a strict AUP (Acceptable Usage Policy) which clearly specifies the company ownership over the computers, data and network traffic, then you can deploy intelligent surveillance software such as KGB Employee Monitor.
The sponsor of this post, KGB Employee Monitor offers a complete solution for monitoring employees which make an open book from any activity engaged by your employees. It is well known that a chain is as strong as its weakest link and people are still the weakest link in assuring information security.
The KGB Employee Monitor is built for the enterprise and can be easily integrated in any Windows Domain network without anybody noticing anything. By using a central management console, you can have instant access to the logs of any monitored workstation or domain user. It is possible to password protect the access to this console so that you have a very strict control on who has access to the logs.
What does it log? In order not to miss any bit of information, KGB Employee Monitor can log all keystrokes, even those which have been deleted by the users. It can also take snapshots at regular intervals and whenever a new window is opened. Clipboard contents, visited websites and chat / instant messaging logs can be logged very easily for future analysis.
How does it log? Busy users can eat up lots of logs disk space and this is why KGB Employee Monitor offers multiple protections such as circular logs based on disk space or time interval. In addition to this, you can fine tune the surveillance settings by defining alarms and application filters which specify which applications should be excluded or included.
The KGB Employee Monitor runs in super stealth mode and it can't be detected in Task Manager, Program Files, Windows Tray, Desktop Shortcuts, etc. The management console is activated only by running a special command.
How to retrieve the logs? Having lots of logs is useful but the job would be only half done if the logs are stored only on the monitored computer. To solve this matter, KGB Employee Monitor offers multiple ways to retrieve the logs: sending emails to a designated email account, automatic upload to an ftp server and remote connection via Windows WMI in a Windows Domain environment.
