"What did you say Mr. Lincoln?", " Are you not enjoying the play??"
"Honestly Mr. President, I heard the second act is deathly spectacular.. "
Content monitoring is fine and dandy if your organization is part of the
public sector (i.e. not government).. If your organization is under the
government sector, keeping records of where employees may go can lead to
lots and lots of Freedom of Information Act requests. The worst that
could happen is that where the employees surf during work hours is listed
in the daily newspapers. What a mess than can be..
Even better when most of the bad things are from people who have very
limited rights but have lots of Internet Access.

This is an inside the firewall issue, but one that is critical. Employees
access the Global Web for not so innocent reasons, true.
"Now for the rest of the story." (Paul Harvey).
Employees may, also, fall into one, or more, of five (5) traps that affect
their employer in a negative way. It does no good to do a partial fix for
Human Factor threats.
Content monitoring is a partial fix to internal threats.
Human Factor dangers can be summarized in the WAECUP (Wake-Up) Protocol,
developed by the undersigned, a number of years ago. The letters stand for
Waste, Accident, Error, Crime, and Unethical Practice.
Unless employees receive adequate training, and admonition, on all five
WAECUP
areas, it will be one problem after another. Does your employer provide
such
training ?
Think of it ? as being shot in the back ? while you try to screen out
external
threats via Firewall, Intrusion Detection, and DMZ.
