Is Your Boss Spying on You?
As the number of workers using the Internet for pleasure as well as business grows, so does anxiety among corporate higher-ups worried about productivity and exposure to security risks.
Many executives and managers have turned to computer surveillance. Low-cost technology is making it easier than ever for businesses of all sizes to monitor computer misuse among employees.
The market for this so-called secure content-management software -- which includes applications that monitor Web surfing, e-mail, instant messaging, and even keystrokes -- is expected to grow to $6.4 billion by 2007, more than double what it was just three years ago, according to the research firm IDC.
