Security and Employee Investigations: Breaking Down the Big Brother Security Myth
Show Notes

Daniel Spicer is back! Following up on last episode's discussion on the security risks of overemployment, Ivanti's Chief Security Officer returns to clear up the age-old myth of security tools being abused for employee investigations. Join Daniel, Chris and Ashley as they discuss:

  • What is (and most definitely is not) allowed in an employee investigation -- especially if the Security Team is requested to assist
  • User and management's misconceptions about security data, and how it's less "Big Brother," and more "Death by Data" 
  • The invaluable technique of using HR and Legal both to cover your asks and avoid abuse of security tools during investigations
  • How you're more likely to investigate an employee due to a media outlet's DMCA request than overemployment
  • What a manager's "tipping point" is to request a more robust employee investigation, and what would trigger Security to get involved

Join us for another episode in which empathetic management and a sympathetic legal department might be the best security tools you'll ever deploy when it comes to cracking down on bad employee behavior -- well, that, and a solid VPN / MDM combo.
