With the Teramind’s computer activity tracker you can determine which activities you consider high-risk. Copying files to external drives, using cloud storage to share corporate files, downloading/opening files and attachments from unknown sources are some of the most common high-risk activities.
After determining the high-risk activities and setting monitoring web activity of users guidelines, you can then apply advanced behavior based rules. The user activity monitoring system will automatically detect when employees violate the rules.
Utilize sophisticated anomaly rules to identify employee activity outside the normal behavior. With the computer activity tracker, you will immediately get notified when harmful employee activity is detected.
You can then take control of their system before any malicious or fraudulent attempt. You can lock the user out or go as far as taking over their computer completely.
Protect Your Sensitive Data and Resources
Take a look at Teramind DLP if you need a dedicated data loss prevention solution. However, Teramind user activity monitoring comes with some useful data protection features too. For example, you can utilize the Activity and Schedule-based rules to prevent external drive usage, detect unusual or unauthorized network login or files transfers.
Or, write rules that react to any observable employee activity. For example by monitoring the web activity of users you can block an email from being sent outside the company domain. You can even know when sensitive documents are being printed. Having a secure PC activity monitoring system with clear rules in place will help protect your business and data.
All these features of Teramind’s user activity monitoring system can help minimize information exfiltration and data leaks by malicious or ignorant employees.
Boost Employee Productivity and Performance
Use the workforce productivity tools to track active vs inactive time, late shifts, long breaks etc. Design etiquette rules to limit unproductive behavior. For example, use the computer activity tracker to set a time limit on social media usage or restrict access to gambling sites.
Use intelligent content-based rules to automatically identify clues to customer dissatisfaction. Angry sentiments in emails, customer queries in IM chat not answered, and more can all be automatically identified.
After identifying these issues you can implement processes to provide better service.
Monitor Privileged Employees and Third-Party Vendors
Teramind allows organizations to stop potential employee-employee or employee-third party collusion attempts. Create profiles for remote, privileged, external vendors and then define what information and system resources each profile can access.
Further rules can be set up to monitor web activity of users so that access to sensitive information is segregated. Information can be segregated by the organization’s security policy, or on a need-to-know basis.
Rules can also be created to notify the authorities of any suspicious privileged employee and third-party vendor activity. Authorities can be alerted to unscheduled or unauthorized changes, creation of backdoor accounts, etc.
