Big Brother and the Case of the Unproductive Employee
By Matt Hahn

No one likes someone looking over their shoulder – but sometimes, in business, it can't be helped.

Do you know what your employees are doing when they are in their cubes or offices? What kinds of sites are they surfing, what software are they downloading to your server, are they sending and receiving unrelated, compromising e-mails, and are they spending their time on Facebook, Twitter or other social media sites?

Not only is behavior unproductive; it puts the company at a huge legal risk if sensitive information were to be sent, and worse, if servers were comprised through hackers or malevolent means!

While "trust" with employees is a separate issue within the business marketplace, business owners can obtain peace of mind through SWK Technologies and Spectorsoft, software we install on your servers to monitor a variety of information. SWK is now an authorized reseller for Spectorsoft.

Sure, Spectorsoft speaks directly to "Big Brother," but most business owners tell us they would rather be safe than sorry. Many sites and downloads damage network servers with viruses that cause huge losses in productivity. Owners want to trust their employees, but must weigh the consequences associated with unauthorized surfing.

Our best advice is to stop these incidents from happening before it's too late. We offer one-on-one consultations to evaluate your needs, and oftentimes, simple solutions prevent huge losses from occurring.
