Monitoring can be done on multiple levels. Consider: DNS hits, traffic intensity per domain and LDAP logins. All of this can be done transparently if you work from an office or use a VPN to access intra or client stuff.
If your company is sufficiently motivated they may have theft-prevention stuff on company-owned hardware that will be more than happy to send a live audio-video stream without your knowledge.
Managers may even not know about the more insane stuff because they're being monitored as well...
Monitoring measures deployed by HR are usually laughable and just a smoke screen meant to show how "backwards" they are.
- magduf 8y agoYou can't send a live video stream without a camera. Cameras are plainly obvious, and easily covered up with tape.
- zamber 8y agoMicrophones aren't plainly obvious and they can provide far more interesting data than a selfie. Also tape barely impacts the pickup quality for mics. I have seen people cover laptop cameras but company-owned phones are usually ignored in this regard. Not to mention keylogging and involuntary desktop screenshots. Employee monitoring software usually has all of this (and more) in one neat package.
