@m4 is correct.

@29b this happens during 60day period, policy/configs will be updated on your computer(but software always present from day one) once they notify you are LR'ed.

Only the people working on the most cutting edge technology should be monitored so intrusively like the directors and above who are the core technical backbone shaping the future.

Like Cisco is full of proprietary tech secrets and IP that every company wants. Smirk!

spyware like that is always present on company provided laptops and gets auto updated frequently. If you are targeted to be a LR victim they will simply update the policy configuration for your computer. You should notice unusually high cpu utilization.

Those marked for LR, get this to monitor any file being removed to USB.

@ew this is the correct answer. @OP you're an idiiot for not doing a simple google search first. no wonder the company wants to monitor you...

No, the Code42 / Incydr (code42.att) agent does not take screenshots.What it actually monitorsIt focuses on file activity, not your screen:When files are created, modified, deleted, copied, or moved
When files are sent to USB drives, personal cloud storage, email, browsers, AirDrop, etc.
File metadata (name, size, path, hash, destination)
In some cases it can keep a copy of the file itself if it leaves the device (for investigation)

It does not:Capture screenshots of your desktop
Record your screen
Monitor keystrokes or what you type
Watch your camera or microphone

Its job is to detect data leaving the computer (potential data loss / insider risk), not to watch what you see on screen.

How dare they - pay for the laptop, give me proprietary data to work on, pay for my work time & then have the audacity to make sure they are being diligent with their asset & their data - how very unreasonable.

@be The code42 Incydr service as been installed on every single machine I've had at at cisco. .. is that the service you are talking about?

even if it isn't.. they have a right to protect themselves... you agree to it when you are hired. don't like it? don't use your work computer for anything remotely personal.

the company is phasing out the use of code42.. however.. they have used it for more than 8 years.. it was installed when you got you machine. this is nothing new.

That was the backup component of code42. As you see, the new code42 is doing now something else ... quite invasive.
