Monitoring

The system provides highly efficient staff monitoring solutions. The following actions of employee PCs can be tracked, monitored and analyzed:

• Desktop monitoring with the saving of screenshots at a given time interval
  With Security Curator, you can observe what an employee sees on the screen of his or her monitor, or choose to view periodic screenshots, which will be stored and available in reports. The program allows you to set the frequency of screenshot taking, as well as the maximum amount of disk space occupied by stored files.
• E-mail correspondence
  You can control all sent items, including the contents of letters and applications, sender names and addresses. All types of email clients are supported. Why is this necessary? Mail is one of the main routes of data leakage—  it is easy to attach a confidential document to a letter and send it by e-mail to competitors. With Security Curator, any information leakage can be detected in a timely manner and prevented.
• Correspondence in ICQ / MSN, Skype, etc.
  Security Curator allows you to track communication on ICQ and MSN. The program records the names of those conversing, using the UIN number for ICQ and contact name in MSN. In addition, the program records who is in contact with the user, as well as types of messages (incoming or outgoing), time of sent or received messages, and, of course, the message content. The program keeps tracks of user conversations and enables searches of correspondence data.
• Running processes
  The software monitors the processes running on an employee’s computer. The following information about processes is shown: full file path of the process, process name, and time of launch. The data is stored for later analysis and is available in the records.
• Installation/de-installation of programs, as well as startup and shutdown
  Security Curator allows you to track which programs have been installed on or removed from a working computer, along with the user responsible for installation and the time programs were installed. You may also monitor whether employees are running a program (such as an accounting system) outside of working hours— this helps to reveal and prevent leakage of confidential information, which can be extracted and copied only if programs are running.
• Sites visited
  Security Curator monitors all visited websites, and makes available the URL, page title, the page’s opening time and duration of activity on the page. All types of Web browsers are supported. The data are stored for later analysis and reports.  Security Curator utilizes a different mechanism than those used by typical browser “History” functions to gather visited website statistics. Thus, employees are unable to remove this information by clearing browser history.

Logging

The system logs almost all employee computer activity:

• Keystroke recording
  All keystrokes are recorded to prevent possible data leaks. You can see the key logger reports in real-time, as well as access them by date and time. Security Curator also captures passwords and system keystrokes (CTRL, SHIFT, ALT, CAPS LOCK, etc), further increasing the level of information protection.

• Screenshot recording
  Security Curator software can perform network surveillance by taking periodic snapshots of computer screens. You can access computer desktops remotely in real-time and view screenshots of different time intervals. You may choose how often Security Curator takes screenshots. Times when computers are inactive can be excluded.
• Backup of files from USB-devices and e-mail attachments
  Security Curator makes backups of e-mail attachments; all files sent via e-mail are encrypted and stored in a special folder. Security Curator also offers the function of shadow-copying files to and from USB devices (flash drives, HDD, MP3-players, phones, etc.). Copies of files are sent to the administrator or stored in a special folder.

Control

With Security Curator, you can keep your company's information under control. The start of any action may be denied or revoked, including:

• Block of processes and actions (launching of applications, sites opening, ban of certain file operations)
  Implementing Security Curator allows you to restrict access to undesirable sites, programs and applications for a certain period of time or permanently. For example, an employer may allow employees to visit Facebook only during lunchtime, or ban access to an accounting program after the end of workdays and on weekends. You may also prevent any file operation, such as the copying of information, its removal or any changes.
• Security policy violation notification 
  Security Curator can be configured in such a way that the program will notify the administrator of any security violation (a list of these should be provided to employees in advance). For example, the violation could be typing a particular word.
• Monitoring and blocking network connections (by port or IP address)
  The software allows you to block access to specific IP addresses or access to certain ports. This feature can be useful for limiting access to torrents or other potentially dangerous servers. There is also an option to completely block Internet access.

Statistics and reporting

Review and analysis of statistical data is simplified through a record system. The system allows you to see applications accessed by employees and how much time they spend at work on the computer, both in absolute terms and percentages.

• Detailed statistical reports track the launch and closure of programs
  The software records the exact time when work computer applications are launched and disabled. In addition, it can track user login/logout times, allowing you to record the working hours of employees.
• The ability to search data by keyword and filter
  You can quickly search data reports by keywords related to confidential information, unwanted sites and programs.
• The option to group agent monitoring
  Highly simplifies the process of monitoring employees. Employees can be grouped by any criteria or attribute. For example, forms and extent of surveillance may differ between the accounting and sales departments.

Who need Security Curator?

The decision to implement Security Curator software may be made by management or by other professionals responsible for corporate security or employee.

Management

It is crucial for management to stay informed about all actions, processes and situations within a company: i.e., how the staff’s time is spent. According to statistics, the primary source of information leakage is through negligence or staff action. This leakage may cause confidential information to be transferred to competitors or made public.

Often, information security specialists are responsible for compliance with trade secrets and confidential information. Any potential leakage of information must be timely detected and prevented by these specialists. But with Security Curator, you are the guardian of your corporate data, informed of and protected against potential dangers. The software has a built-in keyword search for reports, charts, and statistics. It is extremely easy to detect correspondence in ICQ, MSN and other instant messengers, letters and websites that may be related to a breach of information security policy.

Why Security Curator?

Security Curator is a software product designed to provide information security for your company, including monitoring and control of personnel to improve business efficiency.

The software allows you to:

• Detect and prevent possible information leakage.
• Find out the most time-consuming computer processes run by each and every staff member.
• Block access to prohibited websites and files.
• Improve the efficiency of individual departments as well as the company in general.
• According to statistics, most information outflow occurs due to negligence of staff or through a deliberate employee leak. In order to prevent information leakage in a timely manner, employee work computer activities may be constantly monitored.

Logs can expose almost all activities performed on work computers. Activity logging allows the evaluation of personnel effectiveness. Logs record the duration of inappropriate time usage and can identify potential sources of confidential information leakage.

Information and man-hours are the main resources of modern companies. With Security Curator software, you can monitor, analyze and optimize the use of these resources in your company. With Security Curator, you can eliminate the possibility of improper employee use of time: simply block access to all objectionable sites and programs.

Productivity rises after the implementation of Security Curator. Implementation of staff monitoring increases the software’s productivity by several times.

Have you ever wondered about the effectiveness of your staff? Most people tend to think that they are working too much. They do not reflect on the fact that, according to their labor contracts, they are required to work full-time. Employees are often looking for possible ways to spend a workday doing less work: viewing entertainment and news websites, engaging in social networking and online games— all of these actions reduce staff productivity.

StaffCop and Security Curator product comparison
