There seems to be a shocking amount of people that expect any amount of privacy on corporate owned systems, property, or hardware.

As someone in tech: as much as I don’t give a singular shit about spying on what you’re doing, intensive monitoring of every single thing happening within the company systems is important and useful. Often these logs are vitally necessary for things like malware detection and remediation, data exfiltration detection and investigation, investigation into system and network issues, legal investigations or action (both for us, and when subpeona’d).

The amount of data we log, and I have access to, on employees actions on our systems is disturbing. But I would be lying if said that I haven’t encountered a need for a shocking amount of it.
