VERO BEACH, FL — (Marketwired) — 06/04/13 — , the leader in user activity monitoring software, today announced availability of Spector CNE Investigator 7.5, which now provides user activity monitoring for the Mac OS. By extending Spector CNE Investigator-s reach beyond Windows to include Mac OS, organizations will be able to proactively implement employee monitoring and conduct targeted forensic investigations by remotely deploying and installing CNE Investigator on corporate-issued Mac computers. Once deployed, Spector CNE Investigator immediately sends notifications of inappropriate computer use directly to IT security teams- email accounts, providing organizations with concrete evidence that exposes insider threats, employees involved in data theft and loss, fraud, breaches, compliance violations and non-productive behaviors.
“We-ve used Spector CNE Investigator across the Windows environment to successfully review risky and counter-productive employee behaviors for years. By expanding the reach of this powerful forensics tool, we-ll be able to integrate Macs into our IT environment. This integration also lets us leverage an added level of productivity applications, something we haven-t been able to do in the past,” said Celeste O-Keefe, CEO at DANCEL Multimedia. “Spector CNE Investigator provides us with a solution that gives us the necessary visibility to maintain the highest level of security and trust on all the computer platforms we use.”
“The proliferation of BYOD in the enterprise has expanded the Mac OS presence in businesses,” said Javvad Malik, Senior Analyst, Enterprise Security Practice, of 451 Research. “However, with this exploding growth have come operational and security concerns. IT professionals are looking for technologies that ensure their networks are secure against insider threats and other fraudulent behaviors.”
Until now, Mac machines have been hidden in the shadows from enterprise IT. With Spector CNE Investigator, the enterprise can gain a comprehensive view of all corporate-issued PCs and laptops, regardless of operating system, and identify which employees are being productive and compliant with company policies, and which are engaging in risky behaviors.
