Detect & Prevent Employee Theft
Trusted insiders with access to sensitive information are a significant security threat.
CurrentWare helps prevent and detect insider threats with advance awareness and control over employee computer usage.
- Protect Data: Block access to cloud storage sites and limit removable media to authorized devices only.
- Detect Insider Threats: Receive real-time alerts when employees violate your acceptable use policies.
- USB Activity Monitoring: Track what data has been copied, created, deleted, or renamed on removable media to identify the source of a data breach.
The Critical Role of User Activity Monitoring
70% of intellectual property theft occurs within the 90 days before an employee’s resignation announcement.1
Without insider threat management measures in place, stealing sensitive files is as simple as a transfer to a USB flash drive.
Insider threat incidents that took 90+ days to contain cost organizations an average of $17.19 million per year.2
User activity data is essential to detect insider threats and solve issues before they can escalate their attacks.
According to Verizon, 35% of data breaches from 2023-2024 involved internal actors such as employees.3
Insider threat management tools offer the protection and detection features you need to prevent data breaches.

Does CurrentWare Work With Remote Workers?
Yes. CurrentWare’s computer monitoring software allows you to monitor remote workers through a variety of deployment options such as an offsite mode that works without access to the internet, connecting through a VPN, port forwarding, or by installing it on a cloud platform of your choice.

For a complete overview of the security measures that CurrentWare has in place, check out the CurrentWare platform security overview page.
Will CurrentWare Work Without an Internet Connection?
Yes! Since CurrentWare runs on your own server, and doesn’t ping back to a remote server elsewhere, CurrentWare can run on air-gapped networks without access to the outside internet. This means it an excellent fit in research facilities or other high security environments.
To deploy CurrentWare without internet access you can do a Standalone Setup with all components on the same PC, or you can install the central management software within your intranet to centrally manage PCs within an air-gapped network.
When your employees disconnect from your network the client agent will store their activity data locally on their computer. Once they reconnect to your network their data will be synced to the CurrentWare server.
Note: If you wish to get activity data from employee computers that are outside of the network, they will need to be able to communicate with the CurrentWare Server. Once a connection is reestablished you will receive your employee’s computer usage data and any CurrentWare policy updates will take effect.

Will CurrentWare’s User Activity Monitoring Tools Capture Keystrokes?
No. Keyloggers are a security risk due to their ability to capture sensitive information such as passwords. CurrentWare’s UAM tools provide less invasive and more secure alternatives that provide more valuable insights such as URL tracking, file transfer monitoring, and desktop screenshots.

How Does CurrentWare Monitor Employees in Citrix, Terminal Server, and RDS?
CurrentWare uses a client-server model where the client is installed on the desktop that you’d like to track and apply security policies to. The client communicates with the management server that you install on a computer, server, or virtual machine you control.
The client agent can differentiate the users logged into the remote desktop servers so that you can apply different internet and device restrictions on different groups of users.
CurrentWare’s Citrix user activity monitoring software is supported on desktop computers, virtual machines (VMs), and servers running the Windows operating system.
In addition, all CurrentWare components are compatible with Remote Desktop Services (RDS) or Terminal Servers (TS).
So long as the underlying operating system is a version of Windows that is supported by CurrentWare, your users can be monitored.
This means that you can audit user activity on Desktop as a Service (DaaS) providers such as Amazon Workspaces and Citrix, self-hosted Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), or physical endpoints that are being accessed through remote desktop, DirectAccess, or a VPN.
CurrentWare is known to be compatible with the following virtualization software:
- VMware
- Parallels
- VirtualBox
- Oracle VM
- Virtual-PC
- Hyper-V
In addition, CurrentWare integrates with Active Directory, allowing you to import your Windows users and OUs directly from your Active Directory onto the CurrentWare Console.
