Overhearing onboarding managers explain how IT watches everything staff do.
No we don’t randomly remote into your system to see what your screen you are on.
No we dont actively look at your web history.
No we don’t actively read other staffs outgoing emails for data loss.We have automated systems for 2 and 3. Even then we only do something if requested by HR or Legal.
IT guy here, I want to be as far away from any user logs as possible that are not directly related to solving a work issue.
I don’t want to know anything about your browsing history, your email, your chats or your documents. I want to install computers, configure systems, plan deployments, fix odd issues, write scripts, make reports, and while doing that listen/watch youtube videos about a guy setting up obsolete systems like Sun thin clients, installing BeOS, Apple Rhapsody, installing Windows 3.11 on a mobile phone, stuff like that.
This guy watches Acton Retro, doesn’t he
Highly illegal in the EU. Also highly stupid everywhere else. The big question is “How secure is your user espionage system and can an outsider get acces?”. The data from something like this is a social engineering goldmine.
That’s exactly what an IT person would say to hide the fact they watch what I do on my computer!
