Workplace Privacy: Big Brother Is Watching
I don't have any issues with web content filtering. Employees should not be gambling, watching porn or performing various other undesirable actions on company time and/or resources. However, I do have a problem when organizations go to far.
Putting spyware on endpoints, performing SSL decryption and other acts generally go beyond what I feel is acceptable. The issue arises because these technologies can capture username/password combinations, bank account info and so on. They also store this data where other personnel have access to it. The question then boils down to what safeguards are in place to prevent an insider from misusing this data. In other words, what procedures and processes are in place to "watch the Watchers."
