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.

Email Recorder

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.

Web Site Recorder

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 360’s advanced and  intuitive Web Site recording, you will get a quick yet exact  picture of each employee’s web surfing behavior, which  is also used by the Dashboard to formulate trend data across  your organization.

Web Site Recorder Features:


Scan Web Site Addresses for Keywords

Online Search Recorder

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.

Keystroke Recorder

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 offender’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.

Network Activity Recorder

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 company’s Acceptable  Use Policy (AUP).

File Transfer Recorder

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).

Document Tracking Recorder

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.

 

Document Tracking Recorder Features:


Trigger tracking when creating a new file

Trigger tracking when writing to an existing file

Trigger tracking when deleting a file

Trigger tracking when renaming a file

Trigger tracking when destination is the CD ROM

Trigger tracking when destination is the local drive

Trigger tracking when destination is a Network drive

Snapshot Recorder

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.
