Everyone Has Porn on Their Computers: How to Protect Your Company From Your [Non-Malicious] Employees
random apps and maybe their kid’s homework.
The reality is that, even in the strictest environments, business computers very rarely get used only for business purposes.
And there’s very little you can do about it.
Even your best employee is going to use the hardware you give them in ways you never intended. What does that actually
mean for your bottom line? In the best-case scenario, it means absolutely nothing. You have a happy employee who can use
the equipment as they need to, and they’re feeling supported and everything’s great. In the worst-case scenario, however they visit a pornography site, where they get a nasty virus. And when they VPN into your network, they infect all your databases, all your customer records, all the other machines on your network.
I’ll start with the premise that your people are going to use stuff in inappropriate ways. Then I’ll tell you how to make sure
that doesn’t take down your business. There are things you can do, from very inexpensive and ineffective, to very
expensive and ineffective, to very expensive and very effective. I’ll discuss them all, so you can make sure you are making
the right choices for the reality of your business — now and later.
