[Kunz, Peter] What are the legal implications of this in the US or elsewhere? In EUrope, you'd probably have a hard time as HR going to the Admin to look at logs protected by data protection laws.
[Kunz, Peter] Another interesting point: Hopw do you get authority to scan local machines? Disclaimer upon employment taht everythign is company owned?
In the US its the employee agreement that governs access to the data. (The employee pretty much gives up ALL their rights!) You just have to make sure HR and the legal dept know what you are doing. (And don't abuse these rights). Also when we investigate someone there are times when even the managers of the employees are not made aware of the investigation. What's going to get interesting is when we have our international sites going thru our systems and us having to investigate them. The employee might have privacy in the EU but the logs reside in the US. (Just like EU ISP data bouncing off the US networks).
[Kunz, Peter] At least ONE company reacting.
Its no fun! Ashish
