Need to Spy on Employees?
|
OK, "spy" might be the wrong word to use, but protecting intellectual property is becoming increasingly important, and a good offense is the best defense, and some employees may find Deep Software Inc.'s Activity Monitor very offensive! Offensiveness aside, one of the best ways to protect intellectual property is by monitoring computer activity and letting the employees know that every move on the corporate IT assets is being watched and recorded. That is where the latest version of Activity Monitor comes into play. Version 4.3 of Activity Monitor was announced on Feb. 18 and is immediately available. This latest release offers features such as a newly developed state-of-the-art keylogger that enables the recording of text typed in any language, including full support for the IMEs used in languages such as Japanese and Chinese and the accented characters used in Spanish and French. Perfect for that international corporation protecting itself from industrial espionage! All kidding aside, Activity Monitor V4.3 is easy to install, offers excellent integration with Active Directory, supports Windows Vista (both 32- and 64-bit editions) and could very well become the chief information security officer's best friend.

Outrageous.
Yet another notch in the routine abuse of employees.
And we were told in college that the very demanding engineering major we had chosen was one of the three professions, and we engineers were to be considered professionals.
Now there is nothing but disdain, mistrust of those who have endured and passed many ethics courses, and routine avoidance of pensions and vesting, through late-career ageism.
I am so glad to be retired from today's workforce even though like most, I am forced to live as a pauper.
Due to the overwhelmingly prevalent overwork and resulting stress-related health impact, the abusive atmosphere of excessive oversight and overmanagement, and rampant ageism, I wonder that there hasn't yet been a revolution, particularly in government contracting IT ranks, to rival the union activities of the coal miners of the 1920s and 30's.
Had I been ten years younger, I still would have had to withdraw from the workforce when I did because of the physical health impact of the stress and abuse. The lack of any kind of life quality, unacceptable in itself, was even secondary to those effects.
In fact I think I'll stop monitoring anything to do with it. I'm now retired to avoid that level of disgust and negative wonder, and TBTG I have brought no children into this world to endure an existence as cows to be minimally maintained and regularly abused and milked by business.
