I'm all open to hear other ways how Amazon could reliably stop employees from stealing data.
- 0x0nyandesu 5y agoThis is impossible no matter how many safe guards you put up. Like keeping drugs out of prison.
- shawnz 5y agoSimply audit the events where data is accessed (they also suggest this in the article). What advantage does monitoring keystrokes give? This smells more like an attempt to detect unproductive workers to me.
- zoomablemind 5y ago> Simply audit the events where data is accessed.... That would be a sane approach. Indeed, if there's "data" to guard, then one just properly secures it and allocates access to it. If "theft" happens, then there's access log. If data is ubiquitous that everyone should be able to access it, then it's hardly data to "guard". In any case, it makes more sense to monitor access to data, not just a sea of keystrokes... unless the concern lies with something other than the data.
- thrwn_frthr_awy 5y agoThey cannot and monitoring keystrokes won’t stop it either.
- _moof 5y agoI've worked at places where data theft meant a spy was violating arms control treaties. You get access to the data you need, and every access and egress is logged. A keylogger is a frankly ridiculous solution to this problem.
