Products
In 2022, Controlio launched various new product capabilities allowing for more comprehensive and ethical employee monitoring:
Mobile App
Controlio’s iOS and Android apps enable alerts and monitoring on mobile devices. Administrators can now view screenshots, app usage data and ensure company data compliance on mobile devices.
Monitor ChromeOS
As Chromebooks grow in popularity, especially among remote workers, Controlio added support for monitoring ChromeOS devices. Admins gain insights into Chrome browser usage along with native ChromeOS apps.
Real-Time Screenshots
Controlio added the ability to capture screenshots in real-time, allowing admins to ethically monitor employee activity continuously. Real-time screenshots enhance Controlio’s visibility into insider threats.
USB Alarms
Configure alarms for unauthorized USB device connections detecting potential data exfiltration attempts. Controlio can now alert admins instantly when users connect unauthorized USB devices.
Webhook Alarms
Custom webhook alerts provide the flexibility to integrate Controlio monitoring with other systems such as SIEM, SOAR and IT ticketing solutions. Administrators can now automate workflows based on Controlio employee activity alerts.
Direct SQL Access
To empower customers with data analytics capabilities, Controlio added the ability to query employee monitoring data directly via SQL for integration with business intelligence and data warehousing tools.
Data Leak Prevention (DLP)
Controlio strengthened its DLP capabilities enabling more comprehensive data security policies and alerts tailored to GDPR, CCPA and other regional compliance standards to avoid data breaches.
Security Audit report
The new Security Audit provides detailed insights to help admins benchmark and improve their Controlio configuration against security best practices customized to their organization’s employee monitoring policies.
Ignore Activities You Don’t Care About
The new Ignore Rules feature allows organizations to avoid getting alerted about benign employee behaviors that might not pertain to their specific monitoring policies. This enhances Controlio’s precision in detecting actual insider threats while respecting employee privacy.
Only Track Users That Matter
Controlio added flexible user management options to only monitor employees that have access to sensitive company data rather than tracking all users. This helps ensure ethical employee monitoring aligned to user roles and risk levels. User Behavior Analytics provides valuable insights into how individuals interact with digital platforms, aiding in the enhancement of user experience and security measures.
Other Product Updates
In addition to major new features, Controlio enhanced the user interface, improved accessibility compliance and localization support. Ongoing performance upgrades also enabled Controlio to scale and support larger customer deployment sizes.
Conclusion
2022 was a productive year for Controlio’s product development life cycle allowing better ethical employee monitoring, insider threat detection and data loss prevention capabilities. As remote and hybrid work trends accelerate, Controlio continues its commitment to product innovation that balances meaningful workforce analytics with user privacy. 2023 promises to be another year of robust enhancements to Controlio’s offerings.
