Keyloggers and screen capture programs are like knives. They can be very useful, but also very
dangerous. It depends on who is using them. Most companies monitor employees to eliminate
insider threats, ensure security or boost their employees’ productivity. Recording an
employee’s computer screen will help you keep them in check, it has some serious issues.
Almost every company has specific policies covering what an employee can and can’t access
during work hours. Social media websites, like Facebook and YouTube, are usually banned
unless you need to use social media for work. Simple, as you can view an employee’s internet
usage while working, you’ll be able to hold them accountable if they access something that
violates those policies. However, law firms must notify workers before they install keyloggers
on company computers. And they should never use keylogger information to access their
employees' private accounts or email.
