Hi all,

I would like to know if you are aware of your office privacy is being monitored?

Huh? Explain please?

You know that nowadays alot of corporate and company had some tools that will monitor your usage in the office. Just want to find out how many of you guys know about it.

dont use pirated software.

What he means is that in a company , every activities carry out by every workers using the company's pc will be monitored and logged . That's normal because in order to produce better workforce , some strict action must be taken so that employee won't waste their time on something unnecessary during working hour(facebook , play game etc)

i've heard abt it but how do we noe if we'r being monitored? wat software they're using to monitor the usage? n also wat if the organization is too big? will they realy go n monitor evy employee log file? i doubt abt tat

Yes, i know since i walk in to the office.
You will be monitor by CCTV and once you connect to line, the IT team will know what ever you do.

Privacy in a sense of ? Usage of your machine? Or what you do at your desk?

Obviously you lose your sense of privacy when using the companies properties the day you start work at the company. As the company is the one invested in all the hardware, hence its in their best interest to see that their investment is being used in the right manner.

If a company gives you a Black Berry, pays for the bill. Hence, the company through the HR would have the right to go through the numbers of calls you made etc.

If the company provides you with a laptop/desktop and internet connectivity, they can block or record your activities.

If you're using VoIP, and the company installs a product like BlueCoat, they have the right to replay the session and listen in to what was transpired in the conversation.

Hence, if you want to do something which is not business related, then do it after the office hours and not using the companies property.

I agree with that....because before this my company did not monitor the usage of the computer.but after one staff is caught red handed "porn-ing" my company on the spot implement the load balancer and firewall.

oh those proxy filtered network connections...like most in government also using those as well ..network logging ..so, don't surf inappropriate websites during office hours

Maybe you should use VPN for a better privary because out connection will be encrypted.
