SPECTOR 360 has been purpose-built to address productivity, ethics, security, and compliance concerns by monitoring the “human aspect” of computer and Internet usage across your entire organization.
With SPECTOR 360 you will:
It is human nature for employees to think that it is ok to use a computer for personal use at work, especially if they believe it is not impacting work productivity. From a management perspective, however, viewing trend data from SPECTOR 360 can be very enlightening from day one.
SPECTOR 360’s high-level reports can shed light on mild to serious problems that impact business health and security, plus serious threats resulting from data theft, harassment, and compliance violations. Observing organizational usage over time gives IT and senior management critical data about business productivity and security, and importantly, the ability to use this data in a strategic manner.
SPECTOR 360 monitors user computer and Internet activity around the clock. This information is securely archived and can be accessed/reviewed by any authorized user… directly from an executive, department manager, HR, Legal or IT staff member’s own desk.
SPECTOR 360’s powerful reporting features, detailed screen snapshot capabilities and easy-to-use reporting tools let management perform their own investigations by gathering pertinent information to better understand what someone said or did on a computer, in the exact order they did it.
SPECTOR 360 removes the burden placed on IT when an investigation is warranted by eliminating the process of manually sifting through email trails or browser histories on a user’s desktop in order to produce what is, at best, an incomplete report.
Employees need to be educated on what they are allowed and not allowed to do with their computers and the Internet. An Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) should be established within your organization to serve this purpose. The AUP should be written clearly and concisely and agreed to by every employee as a precondition of employment. In addition, every time an employee attempts to log into his computer, he should be presented with a screen that forces him to explicitly accept the terms of the AUP as a prerequisite for access.
For example, your AUP may state that under no circumstances will browsing of any gambling, pornographic or sexually oriented web site be tolerated but sports and news related web sites can be visited from 12 noon to 1 pm. It should state that each employee may be subjected to employee monitoring at any time and as such must not conduct any illegal or unethical act using company resources. The ramifications for various infractions also can be defined in your policy.
Just like any other policy that involves employees, definition is meaningless unless there is enforcement. Rest assured, the honor system will not work here. A well-defined and strongly worded AUP coupled with SPECTOR 360, will allow you to achieve your goals, leading to a significantly safer, more productive and secure environment for your employees.

No matter how strong an Acceptable Use Policy you have in place, without enforcement using Employee Monitoring Software, theft of your company assets eventually will occur – it’s inevitable.
Most employees believe that digital theft is extremely difficult to detect. Furthermore, they believe that if they contribute to something at work they are entitled to a copy of it. If an employee thinks that they can copy a proprietary or confidential document to removable media, or print it out without detection, they will do so. The risk of this activity is the highest in the days leading up to the employee’s resignation. In an unmonitored environment your assets and proprietary, confidential information are at a huge risk for digital leakage.
Activities such as frequent access to removable media, unusually high printer usage, or unusually high volumes of email with attachments can be indicative of digital theft. From the SPECTOR 360 High Level View, quickly identify the employees who are performing these activities and then drill down to see if the corresponding data is company related.
Archival of certain transactions are required for a company to achieve most Federal, Industry, or Agency compliance requirements. SPECTOR 360 records and archives email that has been sent or received by employees, including attachments. Once archived, these emails can quickly and easily be searched for occurrences of certain words or phrases at any time. No more tedious days tracing log files, browser histories or email backups. Because SPECTOR 360 is continually monitoring and capturing computer and Internet activity, IT and management can quickly conduct an archive search on all email sent or received with precise granularity, such as all inbound email from a specific domain with attachments.
SPECTOR 360 can also alert IT and management to exposed confidential information as it traverses your systems, either in email or web mail, file transfers, or via the act of copying or moving a file or directory. The bottom line is that SPECTOR 360 provides you with the tools and flexibility to increase productivity, security and achieve compliance, without placing additional burden on the IT staff within your organization.
