SENSITIVE INVESTIGATIONS
THE SITUATION
The CEO at a prestigious financial services firm learned though a business acquaintance that a senior executive and partner in the firm was suspected of ongoing ethical lapses. The possible impact on the firm if the accusation was true was only slightly greater than the impact if the accusation were false and the executive took offense and quit.
CURRENT TECHNOLOGY
There are no means available for a non-technical person to reliably and discretely monitor a personal computer in an automated fashion from another computer without seeking the help of another person, having extensive access to the monitored computer (enough to install software), or risking interception of the transmitted data.
THE VIEWSENDER SOLUTION
viewSender Agent installations can quickly easily be placed on the monitored computer remotely or from any available USB port (the Agent is silently self-installing). viewSender Agents can be configured in advance of deployment from any computer (not just the computer to be monitored), and can be set up to report from the monitored computer to e-mail accounts or servers. The configuration utility is a straightforward guided tour through the configurable values, with understandable on-line help, hints, and tool-tips.
The Agent components on the monitored computer are well-hidden and encrypted, and all files and transmissions are also encrypted.
(Equally important, unauthorized installations of Agents are prevented by a number of security measures. All Agents report their identities to the Servers they talk to, which can link the identities to their creating Agent Configuration Utilities. The ACUs are embedded with their buyer's purchase information, which is also know to the viewSender's website databases.)
