Confidential Information Leaking -- The Threat You Should Concern

Being employers, do you have any idea about leaking of company information and trade secrets? Does it even cross your mind or let you be frustrated?

Seeing below the statistics,

• 
  
• Businesses lose 20% of every dollar to employee theft - American Society of Employers;
• 
  
• In 2008, one in every 30 employees was apprehended for theft from their employer- 2008 Jack Hayes International, Inc. survey;
• 
  
• In 2008, 72,120 employees were apprehended from 22 large retail companies, up 3.01% from 2007 - 2008 Jack Hayes International, Inc. survey;
• 
  
• 30% of corporate bankruptcies result from employee theft – U.S. Chamber of Commerce; and,
• The FBI calls employee theft the fastest growing crime in America, 55% of perpetrators of employee theft are managers- American Society of Employers.

That is the fact, at current market fields, company confidential information, trade secrets, customer information and contacts, source code and programming, market strategies, product development would be very important for companies.

If you are concerning your businesses’ profits, all of the above are readily available to your employees and thus are subject to be leaked out of your company to the wrong hands - possibly competitors.

Until now, almost all companies implement traditional monitoring surveillance security and protects such as firewalls, passwords, encryption, and more; however, this does not protect you from those employees who have access on passing it outside of the company.  More than three quarters of all American businesses report company confidential and proprietary information being circulated outside the company, resulting in millions of dollars in litigation and lost revenue.

That is a true fact which we can’t deny -- traditional monitoring surveillance solutions and protections have been not enough for current office working environments. By monitoring all computer and Internet activities you now have records of who printed what, who copied what, who sent this email and who received that email.  There is literally nothing an employee can do on your computers online and offline that will not be recorded. And most companies’ theft cases also showed us more and more insider employees leaked the confidential information and trade secrets via internet email or took away with personal portable storage devices.

So you need one better surveillance solution which is running in full stealth mode and without much system resources taken. Also you need surveillance tools can centralized the all the monitoring logs and screenshot into one place which let you be easy to understand what your employees are doing and been done.

Imagine if you found out confidential information was leaked and you had the ability to search your entire networks logs to see where it was leaked and by who at what time.  Pure evidence sitting right in your hands to allow you to take further actions!  That is what you should want and also the employees surveillance should do for you.
