Spector CNE Investigator Features

• Screen Playback

   

  See the world through your employee’s eyes

  The proof you need, exactly when you need it

  By default, Spector CNE Investigator captures screen snapshots every 30 seconds. It can be configured to take snapshots more or less frequently, when keywords you specify are detected, and during key events—such as when a program is opened, when certain keys are pressed, a web page loads or on clicks of a mouse.

  Play it back, like your DVR

  Because screenshots are taken continuously, you can easily replay activity before, during and after the action in question. This provides you with objective proof and context around questionable activity.

  Export it and take it with you

  Screen snapshots can be exported as individual BMP or JPG graphic files. Multiple snapshots can be exported together as an AVI video file.

• 

• Web Activity

  Get detailed visibility into exactly what your employees are doing on the internet

  This isn’t your father’s web history

  Significantly more sophisticated than browser history, Spector CNE Investigator records and maintains information about web activity including:

  • Page title of website
  • Categorization of the type of websites
  • Total, Active, & Focus Time on websites
  • Total number of visits to websites
  • Time of last visit

  See what’s on their mind

  Web searches are the best way to understand what your employee is thinking about.  Is it work-related or are they shopping for shoes? Searches are split out from web page visits to allow you to see exactly what they are interested in.

• What’s coming into your network?

  Spector CNE Investigator also tracks every file and program download that occurs over the Internet (such as file/music swapping services, software download sites, pornographic images, etc.), keeping you informed of inappropriate content, potential malware and unauthorized applications.

• how much time they’re really taking

  Having Facebook open for 8 hours—is it a problem? You can’t tell just by looking at how long the browser was left open. In addition to you how long the web browser was open, Spector CNE Investigator also informs you how much time the web browser was in the foreground as well as how much time the employee spend interacting with it.

• Email Activity

  Visibility into all corporate and webmail-based email

  Every email, regardless of platform

  Spector CNE Investigator captures and stores email from corporate email platforms, such as Exchange and Lotus Notes, as well as webmail sources like Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail, ensuring you see what information is coming in and going out.

   A Permanent archive of the conversation

  All email sent and received are archived, including attachments, creating a permanent record of all email, even when the employee deletes their copy.

  See behind encryption

  Because Spector CNE Investigator records at the employee’s computer, even email sent behind SSL encryption is visible, ensuring you see every email.

• 

• 

• Chat & IM Activity

  See both sides of computer-based messaging

  All major chat apps…and more

  Spector CNE Investigator supports over a dozen of the most-used messaging applications including:

  Facebook

  Skype

  Google

  Windows Live Messenger

  Flexible enough to include your own

  The Chat/IM recorder can be configured to include custom ports to support capturing message activity on additional or proprietary chat applications.

• Document Tracking

  Keep tabs on where they come from and where they go

  Know what’s uploaded and downloaded

  Not knowing what’s entering and leaving your company’s network is like leaving the front door wide open—open to data leaving the organization and malware being introduced into it.

  Uploaded files can contain sensitive information and files downloaded from peer-to-peer sites can fill your network with pornography, pirated music, video or software, as well as files filled with spyware, adware, or viruses.

  Spector CNE Investigator records every file transferred across the Internet by monitoring HTTP, FTP and P2P file transfers. It records the filename, protocol, application, type of file, the date and time of the transfer and more to keep you informed of exactly what’s coming in and going out over the network.

  Every document…documented

  When files are copied to USB, DVD, CD-R, even floppy or Zip drives, and when files are printed, Spector CNE Investigator keeps track of every last detail about who is accessing documents and what they do with them.

• 

• 

• Application Activity

  Know when they’re working and what they’re working on

  Every application, every detail

  The moment an application is launched, Spector CNE Investigator begins to track the application name, launch time, the number of times it’s been opened, window title and more.

  Are they working or not?

  It’s one thing to open an application, it’s completely another to actually be working within the application. Spector CNE Investigator differentiates the Total Time an application is open (from launch to close), from Focus Time (the amount of time the application window is in the foreground) from Active Time (the amount of time there is keyboard and mouse activity within the application) to give you a true sense of who is—and isn’t—working.

• Network Activity

  Look at user activity from the network’s perspective

  Network events made simple

  Spector CNE Investigator takes all the technical know-how usually required with network monitoring and simplifies it down to the details that are most important to you. With each network event, Spector CNE Investigator records:

  • Name of the program that established the network connection
  • Start and end time of event
  • Protocol used for connection
  • Domain name where connections were made
  • IP address of the target connection
  • Port used for the connection
  • Number of connections during the event
  • Number of bytes sent during the event
  • Number of bytes received during the event
  • Duration of the event

• 

• 

• Keystroke Activity

  Record every last key and never miss a thing

  Not just what was typed

  In addition to recording each key pressed, Spector CNE Investigator associates the keystrokes to the user, the application used, the title of the window, the date and time the event occurred and more.

  Passwords or not…your choice

  Some employers don’t want to accidentally obtain the passwords for their employee’s personal accounts. Spector CNE Investigator can be configured to not capture passwords, enhancing employee privacy.

• Real-time Alerting

  Because you suspect someone of inappropriate behavior, reaction time is critical. Spector CNE Investigator notifies you via email alert when these actions occur.

• Contextual Alerting

  Using specified keywords, multiple sources (such as email, websites, applications, keystrokes, and window captions) are scanned. Should a keyword match be triggered, Spector CNE Investigator notifies you which keyword alert was triggered.

• Detailed Reviewing

  Because you’re concerned about these events enough to be notified, Spector CNE Investigator can be configured to increase the frequency of screen snapshots around this event, providing you with even greater ability to review the Screen Playback.

• Web Filtering

  Allow the activity you want—block what you don’t

  Websites

  You can specify what websites you want to block or allow, narrowing down what your employees can access on the Internet. A list of domains can be imported, making it easier to manage.

  Chat/IM

  Messaging can be blocked, as well as specific combinations of contact names and chat/IM providers can be either blocked or allowed.

  Internet Access

  If you desire, you can block the entire Internet or just parts of it. Spector CNE Investigator makes it easy to define exactly what Internet traffic you want to block, based on predefined Internet functions (such as email or website traffic) or custom network ports you define.
