Spector 360 incorporates SpectorSoft's award-winning PC monitoring technology that automatically records everything including emails sent and received, chat and instant messaging, web surfing, keystrokes typed, files transferred/printed/saved, and more! All this is performed silently, without the employees being aware they are being monitored.
The Spector 360 Recorder contains a series of powerful recording tools:
|
|
|
|
|
All of these tools record simultaneously, undetected by triple level security. The Recorder is highly configurable and can be customised to record only those events of interest.
In addition to monitoring and recording, Spector 360 has an advanced Keyword Detection and Reporting system that will instantly notify you when a PC user being monitored has strayed from acceptable use of the PC or Internet.

Spector 360 will stamp out abuse with cutting-edge email recording capabilities designed to ensure that you have a clear record of all email being sent and received from company premises. In addition to recording business standard MS Exchange and Outlook email, Spector 360 includes industry-first web mail capturing. This includes web mail services such as Hotmail, Yahoo Mail and AOL Internet Email.
Whenever an email is sent or received, Spector 360 creates a hidden duplicate (including file attachments) and stores it away for later review. Spector 360 also keeps a copy of deleted email. Recorded email attachments can be securely transferred to the Data Vault using data encryption. If you want to limit the amount of email recorded, this tool has a filtering capability so emails can be captured when they are sent or received or if there is a particular pattern detected in the To/From/Subject/Body. Other controls allow you to filter email based on the format used or if attachments are detected. In addition, there are granular settings to filter based on attachment characteristics such as size. If you only want to capture email from a specific source you can filter the emails received from designated account types such as MS Outlook, Hotmail, AOL, MS Exchange, or IMAP. |

The Web Site Recording tool in Spector 360 will continually monitor every web page that is accessed by the computers on your network and save a record of those URLs and domain names.
Spector 360 will also track every file and program download that occurs over the Internet (such as file/music swapping services, software download sites, pornographic images, etc. …) Spector 360 is significantly more sophisticated than the History feature of your web browser, providing you with important details including: Time of Last Visit, Duration of Time on the Web Site, Active Time on Web Site, Total Number of Visits to the Web Site, Page Title and more! Additionally, you can use the Spector 360 Control Center to create a Whitelist of web sites that your employees are permitted to view. Any web site not included in this list will be blocked. Alternately, you can create a Blacklist of web sites that they are not allowed to visit. If the web site is not included in this list, they will be able to access it. These policies can be customized for different employees. With Spector 360â€s advanced and intuitive Web Site recording, you will get a quick yet exact picture of each employeeâ€s web surfing behavior, which is also used by the Dashboard to formulate trend data across your organization. |

Spector 360 records online searches from any web site where known search techniques are used. Spector 360 looks for standard searching techniques, captures the search phrase entered by the employee, the search results URL, and other information. Using the Dashboard, you can tell whether the employee actually accessed the web site as a result of an online search. Use the information to understand why an employee is at a web site. For example, find out whether an employee is searching a job web site for professional growth information or to find a new job.

Keyword Detection & Reporting allows you to specify words or phrases that might signal an immediate threat to the safety and integrity of your network systems, intellectual property, employees or customers. Keywords can also be used to indicate when an employee might be involved in an activity that is not condoned by your company or is in direct violation of an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP).
Create a list of "on alert" words or phrases and Spector 360 will continually monitor keyboard typing, URLs, incoming and outgoing emails, chat conversations and instant messages for these terms.
When a keyword or phrase is detected, Spector 360 immediately jumps into overdrive. Snapshot frequency is automatically increased to ensure that every detail of the offenderâ€s actions is captured as evidence. Additionally, Spector 360 collects information regarding the offense and sends an instant keyword alert via email to the specified IT administrator or appropriate compliance manager.
Each keyword alert contains the following information:
The keyword that was detected
The time the keyword was detected
The current user logged in to Windows
Additional detailed information
Spector 360 also reports on the top keyword alerts issued and the top employees violating the keyword alert policy.

Spector 360 records information about all Internet connections made on a computer. You will be able to see at a glance which applications are connecting to the Internet, when the connections are made, the Internet address they connected to, what ports are being used, and the amount of network bandwidth consumed by those connections.
This Internet connection activity can provide valuable insight into:
Which employees may be violating company policy by consuming network bandwidth with streaming media, file downloads, or other Internet activity. Applications connecting to the Internet which you may not have been aware of and which could have security implications. Which Internet resources are most often connected to.Armed with this information you may decide to block access to TCP ports or Internet domains, remove offending applications from computers, or tighten your companyâ€s Acceptable Use Policy (AUP).

There are multiple serious security concerns for businesses when employees use company computers to download files from the Internet, transfer files across the Internet and access peer-to-peer services which are loaded with pornographic images, Spyware, Adware, and pirated music, video and software.
One major concern is whether employees are sending company confidential information over the Internet. Another concern is whether employees are placing the company at legal risk by downloading copyrighted materials, like music, movies and commercial software. In addition, there is potential risk when an employee downloads pornographic images that will reside on company computers and may be viewed by another employee who would consider such material highly offensive. Finally, any time a file is downloaded, there is great risk that Spyware and/or Adware will be installed, especially where P2P services are involved. (Dell Computer Corporation has identified Spyware as its single biggest source of technical support incidents, because Spyware will redirect web browsers and eventually slow computers down to a crawl, not to mention the potential for security breaches. Most Spyware enters into computers via downloads from the Internet.) Spector 360 records Files Transferred over the Internet by keeping track of HTTP, FTP and P2P file transfers. You will be able to see who is downloading or uploading files, what file protocol is being used, which service is being used, the name of the file being transferred and the type of file being transferred (audio, image, video, software, document). |

Intellectual Property Theft and the leaking of Company Confidential information has become an increasing security threat for companies in recent years as technology has made it relatively easy for employees to copy files to floppy disks, Zip disks, CDs, DVDs, USB drives, Memory sticks or to simply print out these documents and transport them off company premises.
Spector 360 includes a Document Tracking feature which allows you to determine whether files/documents may be exiting your company via removable media such as floppy, zip, CD, DVD or USB storage devices and memory sticks. The Document Tracking feature also allows you to track documents that are printed and who is copying or printing potentially sensitive files or documents.

Spector 360 takes hundreds of snapshots every hour on each networked PC, very much like a surveillance camera. Snapshots are taken of whatever is on the computer screen at the frequency you choose as often as once per second. That means you get detailed visual recordings of all chat conversations, instant messages, emails typed and read, all web sites visited, all programs run, all keystrokes typed – all activity on all computers. Snapshot Recording is the most powerful way to visually record and review everything they do online and offline.
Imagine surveillance cameras pointed directly at every PC on your company network, filming all Internet and general PC activity, and storing this in a secure area for later review. That is the idea behind the Snapshot Recorder tool in Spector 360.
