According to recent study, 86% of workers committing cybercrimes held "technical positions" and 90% of those workers had system administrator access. In 55% of these cases, company computer equipment was used* Despite the potential for disruption or financial loss caused by attacks on computer systems by disgruntled insiders, most businesses do not have a system for monitoring computer activity to prevent system administrators from deleting or altering crucial files, creating backdoor access, dummy accounts, or sabotaging the computer system.
Employee computer monitoring can protect companies from alterations to files or destruction of data by providing a forensic trail of all electronic data and communications that categorically identifies what changes were made and with which user or computer the changes originated. Being able to backtrack from a current version of a file to see all modifications can protect businesses from allegations of non-compliance as well as in disputes with clients or employees.
Secure Encrypted Records
Security experts 3ami offer employee computer monitoring software that maintains secure, encrypted records of every action made on any computer on which the software is installed whether that change involves correcting a typo, revising a figure or altering a time or date stamp. Should a file be called into question or a record need to be queried, even if an individual user has deleted the file, 3ami MAS (Monitoring & Audit System) will preserve an accurate copy of the data, showing every modification made over time. MAS will even record should anybody attempt to tamper with data stored by the software.
3ami Managing Director Tim Ellsmore explains, "If a record has no alert then the data is authentic. Even where a file has an alert attached, this alert can provide a forensic trail back to the culprit. Records kept by MAS are so secure that they have been successfully used as legal proof of wrongdoing.."
MAS can store complete employee computer monitoring records either on-site or in a secure third-party location. MAS records created by the employee computer monitoring software cannot be accidentally damaged by IT staff examining an employee’s computer for digital evidence of wrongdoing as the records are stored separately.
MAS helps businesses meet compliance requirements regarding retention of data. Records over any time frame can be retrieved instantly.
