we actualy get inspected on a regular basis as to what sites have been visited. there is a log file generated every night and they run through sniffers and then randomly they are checked by actual humans.

Steve, I believe the military would be an exception rather than the rule. We also run filters that will give red screens if inappropriate sites are visited, but logs are never checked.

For me, it doesn't have to be actively monitored (having a guy sit there watching data movement) to be considered monitored. Just having your data go through a proxy server and data being logged alone to me is considered monitored. In other words, the company could simply run scripts at any time to analyze your usage. The reason they are logging data and making you run through a proxy server or firewall means that they want to find out which sites you are visiting and block selected sites. So I think that's good enough for a definition of monitored. And for the record, people that I know within my company (not me) :) have been warned before about visiting certain sites.

I work on my computer at home so I monitor myself. I'm a bad boy. On canreef & BCA all the time. Bad Anthony or as cindyt would say, "Bad hand-toe-knee".

My wife keeps asking how I get all my work done when I'm surfin fish-sites?

Anthony

well...
 

Better then getting caught looking at pron.

I run the network - so I'd only be monitoring myself, but we do monitor but do not actively review logs, I like to give my users the benefit of the doubt and let them take a breather once in a while. At the end of the day, if there are still results and timelines are met, then people are free to do as they please.

We have a monitoring policy but walk through our office and you can tell it's definitely not enforced (my boss walked into my office while I was typing this). I'm not worried though cause Canreef only on breaks of course :)

I worry that the guys at work will walk in and see me looking at fish instead of pron and think I'm some kind of nerd or something! :lol:

I work for myself and I'm way too busy to monitor internet usage. I geuss I just have to trust myself to not abuse the system... but if I do.... I'll be watching.

I may have answered the question incorrectly.

on the military server right now you can see the threads but you can not open them. it dose chages every now and then. The military has blocked forces.gc.ca before thogh I find that wierd.
