Features of Security Curator

Security Curator - The software is designed to provide security to corporate information and DLP, as well as monitor and control personnel in order to improve efficiency.

Main features of the programm:

Monitoring

The system provides highly efficient staff monitoring solutions. The following actions of employee PCs can be tracked, monitored and analyzed:

• Desktop monitoring with the saving of screenshots at a given time interval
  With Security Curator, you can observe what an employee sees on the screen of his or her monitor, or choose to view periodic screenshots, which will be stored and available in reports. The program allows you to set the frequency of screenshot taking, as well as the maximum amount of disk space occupied by stored files.
• E-mail correspondence
  You can control all sent items, including the contents of letters and applications, sender names and addresses. All types of email clients are supported. Why is this necessary? Mail is one of the main routes of data leakage—  it is easy to attach a confidential document to a letter and send it by e-mail to competitors. With Security Curator, any information leakage can be detected in a timely manner and prevented.
• Correspondence in ICQ / MSN, Skype, etc.
  Security Curator allows you to track communication on ICQ and MSN. The program records the names of those conversing, using the UIN number for ICQ and contact name in MSN. In addition, the program records who is in contact with the user, as well as types of messages (incoming or outgoing), time of sent or received messages, and, of course, the message content. The program keeps tracks of user conversations and enables searches of correspondence data.
• Running processes
  The software monitors the processes running on an employee’s computer. The following information about processes is shown: full file path of the process, process name, and time of launch. The data is stored for later analysis and is available in the records.
• Installation/de-installation of programs, as well as startup and shutdown
  Security Curator allows you to track which programs have been installed on or removed from a working computer, along with the user responsible for installation and the time programs were installed. You may also monitor whether employees are running a program (such as an accounting system) outside of working hours— this helps to reveal and prevent leakage of confidential information, which can be extracted and copied only if programs are running.
• Sites visited
  Security Curator monitors all visited websites, and makes available the URL, page title, the page’s opening time and duration of activity on the page. All types of Web browsers are supported. The data are stored for later analysis and reports.  Security Curator utilizes a different mechanism than those used by typical browser “History” functions to gather visited website statistics. Thus, employees are unable to remove this information by clearing browser history.

Logging

The system logs almost all employee computer activity:

• Keystroke recording
  All keystrokes are recorded to prevent possible data leaks. You can see the key logger reports in real-time, as well as access them by date and time. Security Curator also captures passwords and system keystrokes (CTRL, SHIFT, ALT, CAPS LOCK, etc), further increasing the level of information protection.

• Screenshot recording
  Security Curator software can perform network surveillance by taking periodic snapshots of computer screens. You can access computer desktops remotely in real-time and view screenshots of different time intervals. You may choose how often Security Curator takes screenshots. Times when computers are inactive can be excluded.
• Backup of files from USB-devices and e-mail attachments
  Security Curator makes backups of e-mail attachments; all files sent via e-mail are encrypted and stored in a special folder. Security Curator also offers the function of shadow-copying files to and from USB devices (flash drives, HDD, MP3-players, phones, etc.). Copies of files are sent to the administrator or stored in a special folder.

Control

With Security Curator, you can keep your company's information under control. The start of any action may be denied or revoked, including:

• Block of processes and actions (launching of applications, sites opening, ban of certain file operations)
  Implementing Security Curator allows you to restrict access to undesirable sites, programs and applications for a certain period of time or permanently. For example, an employer may allow employees to visit Facebook only during lunchtime, or ban access to an accounting program after the end of workdays and on weekends. You may also prevent any file operation, such as the copying of information, its removal or any changes.
• Security policy violation notification 
  Security Curator can be configured in such a way that the program will notify the administrator of any security violation (a list of these should be provided to employees in advance). For example, the violation could be typing a particular word.
• Monitoring and blocking network connections (by port or IP address)
  The software allows you to block access to specific IP addresses or access to certain ports. This feature can be useful for limiting access to torrents or other potentially dangerous servers. There is also an option to completely block Internet access.

Statistics and reporting

Review and analysis of statistical data is simplified through a record system. The system allows you to see applications accessed by employees and how much time they spend at work on the computer, both in absolute terms and percentages.

• Detailed statistical reports track the launch and closure of programs
  The software records the exact time when work computer applications are launched and disabled. In addition, it can track user login/logout times, allowing you to record the working hours of employees.
• The ability to search data by keyword and filter
  You can quickly search data reports by keywords related to confidential information, unwanted sites and programs.
• The option to group agent monitoring
  Highly simplifies the process of monitoring employees. Employees can be grouped by any criteria or attribute. For example, forms and extent of surveillance may differ between the accounting and sales departments.
