Top 9 IT Management Trends for 2016

      <h2>The issue of monitoring employees has been raising heated discussions for years. The European Court of Human Rights has expressed its opinion on this matter. What differences does the latest judgement make?</h2>
  
      <div class="ce_text block">
      <h2>The employer’s rights and the employee’s privacy</h2>
<p>The judgement of <a title="the European Court of Human Rights" href="http://hudoc.echr.coe.int/fre-press?i=001-159906%23" target="_blank">the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR)</a> of 12 January of this year, in the case of Bogdan Barbulescu from Romania, grants the employer with the right to monitor the employees’ activities in justified cases. In this specific case, the issue was how the management board of the company in which Barbulescu had been employed checked the method in which he was performing his duties. During an audit of archive conversations, it was found that he had used the company Internet messenger for private purposes. It was proven that the Romanian citizen was engaged in personal correspondence during work hours, which, according to the employer, had a negative effect on his productivity. As a result, his contract was terminated and he sued his company for this. ECHR sustained the judgements of previous instances stating that the employer did not violate Article 8 of <a title="the European Convention on Human Rights" href="http://www.echr.coe.int/Documents/Convention_ENG.pdf" target="_blank">the European Convention on Human Rights</a> on the right to respect privacy, as the employer’s verification of the activities performed within working hours by persons employed at a company was natural and justified. Furthermore, the employer did not disclose any sensitive data of the people with whom Barbulescu kept in touch privately.</p>
<h2>What differences does the judgement make?</h2>
<p>It is said that the decision of the ECHR allows all European employers to monitor employee activities without any limitations. However, the contents of the judgement indicate that the rights in this matter always depend on the circumstances of a specific case. If companies monitor their employees only to make sure that they are performing their duties properly, as was the case with the company employing Barbulescu, they should not fear any legal consequences. This similarly applies if the control refers to the employee’s honesty or verifies whether they are not unintentionally causing a threat to the network safety. Above all, one must remember that monitoring is all about prevention and not surveillance.</p>
<h2>Good practices in monitoring employee activities</h2>
<p>In order that the monitoring of employee activities does not become a bone of contention, but brings about advantages to the entire company, one must bear in mind a few good practices related to this matter. They were remarked upon by the Portuguese judge of ECHR, Paulo Pinto de Albuquerque, who indicated that companies should base any potential monitoring on internal regulations that every employee should read and accept prior to the conclusion of the employment contract. What is more, the employer’s actions in this scope must be justified at all times. The fact that monitoring software has been installed cannot be the basis for the constant tracking of every mouse movement which the employee makes. Only when it is suspected that the employee’s behaviour, work performance or other factors may be to the company’s disadvantage, one should access the records of their professional activities which have been gathered by the software. The tools for IT infrastructure management, eg. <a title="the Users module of the Axence nVision" href="en/nvision-pro/users-activity-monitoring/" target="_blank">the Users module of the Axence nVision</a> programme offer a number of functionalities for the so-called computer forensics.</p>    </div>

      <h2>Fear of threats related to employee malevolence is growing in large companies. How to monitor people’s activity wisely in the security service?</h2>
  
      <div class="ce_text block">
      <h2>Monitoring? Do not mistake it for surveillance</h2>
<p>Many employees openly show their resentment toward the management and the IT department, when the employer considers the implementation of employee activity monitoring software. They believe it is proof of a lack of trust and that it will lead to constant surveillance. Those Orwellian visions are the result of inadequate education of the staff. Monitoring solutions are aimed to strengthen the corporate security chain and this needs to be explained to the employees in detail. How to approach such conversation? What monitoring policy should be adopted?</p>
<p>Let’s not assume in advance that each employee is a potential threat. However, each group includes some black sheep who, by their actions, can incite significant financial losses, loss of company goodwill or even the fall of the company. Therefore, the detection of malevolent actions should be a common goal for all employees. If an employee has a clean conscience, there is nothing he or she should worry about. Wise usage of monitoring tools is based on responding to incidents, not tracking of every click. Another argument for the implementation of such solutions is the growing number of threats based on social manipulation, such as spear phishing. An employee might be unaware that by clicking on a link or downloading an attachment, he or she contributed to a critical data leak or infection of the corporate network with a dangerous virus. Thanks to the monitoring tools, the administrators can quickly respond to such an attack attempt. The above policy and rhetoric should be applied by all management boards and IT departments – comments Marcin Matuszewski, Technical Support Engineer at Axence.</p>
<h2>Companies are more and more aware</h2>
<p>Large companies and corporations show the highest awareness of the losses which might occur from the unauthorized actions of their employees. The IT decision makers participating in the <a title="Orange Insights: IT Security eye of large companies and corporations" href="https://goo.gl/6h7Qam" target="_blank">Orange Insights</a> survey indicated that employee malevolence is the second worst threat to network security – right after the attack of cyber criminals. This answer was chosen by 52% of people taking part in the survey (for comparison, hacking attacks were quoted by 53%). In these companies the expenses born in relation to IT security, including network users’ activity monitoring tools, are constantly growing.</p>
<h2>What solution should you choose?</h2>
<p>When considering the choice of software for user activity monitoring, pay attention to the function allowing for the documentation of malevolent practices by an employee. If it is suspected that a person could be working to the detriment of the company, the administrator should be able to take screenshots (to catch the culprit red handed), to view the history of edited documents and visited websites and programs which have been run on the employee’s workstation. Evidence for the intended leak of strategic data can be also found in e-mail. The software should allow the monitoring of the names and sizes of sent attachments and the headers of sent e-mail messages. All the described functionalities are offered by the <a title="Axence nVision - User activity monitoring" href="en/nvision-pro/users-activity-monitoring/" target="_blank">Users module of Axence nVision</a> software.</p>
