The Importance of Monitoring Employee Conduct on Company Computers
Data Theft Investigations
80% of cybersecurity leaders disclosed that departing employees took valuable IP with them when they left. Worse yet, 70% say they’re not always aware of incidents.
Enforce Company Policies
64% of employees in a Salary.com survey admitted to visiting non-work related websites every day at work—with some wasting up to 5-10 hours per week.
End-User Training
95% of cybersecurity breaches are caused by human error. With insights into computer activity, you can detect high-risk actions that warrant further training to protect your data.
CurrentWare Supports EHOB’s Mission to Consistently Meet Performance Standards
The EHOB team knew they needed consistent and high-quality output to meet their mission of educating the public and delivering innovative products that ensure the safety of healthcare patients and staff.
Since adopting CurrentWare’s internet filtering and monitoring software, the EHOB team has become better equipped to meet its operational efficiency goals and ensure that company resources are being used properly.
These insights become particularly important during low supervision periods, such as night shifts. Should performance concerns arise, HR and management can be easily provided with the exact data they need to investigate and remediate.
When HR needs more information, it’s much easier now to quickly pull a dashboard and say, ‘Here’s what we’ve got for you.’
CurrentWare gives our HR department insights faster so they can make informed decisions. When necessary, we can really dig in and see what’s going on with a greater level of detail.
When HR requested a solution to monitor productivity, we turned to CurrentWare.

Protecting Sensitive Data & Systems Against USB Devices
Blocking removable media devices such as USB drives and memory cards is a valuable security measure to protect against data theft, malware, and other USB security threats.
However, many companies will have employees, such as those in the marketing department, who need a streamlined way to offload data from a trusted external device onto their computers.
CurrentWare’s data loss prevention features allow you to block unauthorized devices completely while configuring granular removable media access permissions for different policy groups. This ensures your employees have the tools they need while simultaneously safeguarding your most valuable assets.
After a cybersecurity analysis, it came to our attention that we needed a solution to monitor and restrict removable devices like USB flash drives.
We weren’t ready to block them outright, so we weren’t sure how to address it.
Thankfully, CurrentWare can help us with that by allowing us to selectively control USB access to avoid interrupting those who legitimately need it.
