Ability to prevent data leaks through VK Teams, ICQ and eXpress messengers

The developer of the DLP system Stakhanovets on May 16, 2023 announced the expansion of monitoring of domestic instant messengers and will now allow taking control of employee communication in three Russian chat services - VK Teams, ICQ and eXpress.

According to statistics, 68% of Russians solve business issues in correspondence. This is the most common way of working communication, as well as the most vulnerable.

When fixing "dangerous" words in business correspondence, the system sends notifications to the security service - this helps the employer prevent information leaks, as well as avoid financial and reputational losses.

The complex records not only voice and text negotiations, but also the transfer of files that can constitute a corporate secret.

For example, during the test implementation, the functionality of the complex helped to avoid an incident in the legal bureau: the employee corresponded with the recently dismissed leader, who lured him to his good salary. For the new position, the ex-boss asked to make downloads from CRM and copy customer data, - shared an insider in the company "Stakhanovets."

"Stakhanovets" in the background monitored the correspondence in the chat and reacted to the use of the words "unloading" and "base." Security immediately began investigating the incident. The report showed who the employee interacted with outside the company not only in instant messengers, but also in calls and mail.

Against the background of news about the transition of companies to domestic services, since March 1, Roskomnadzor has blacklisted nine foreign messengers - so far they have been banned from providing services only to financial and state institutions.

Obtaining a Patent for Engagement Assessment Solution

On October 12, 2022, Stakhanovets announced that it had patented a solution that automatically evaluates employee engagement and also warns professional burnout. The neural network analyzes the activity of personnel at workplaces and helps to identify procrastination, emotional exhaustion or stress by behavior. The system also helps prevent corporate data leaks.

The program allows you to notice possible burnout in time and choose the most productive work models and requirements for a specific position. In this way, the personnel can be reduced.

The solution is based on a methodology that forms the boundaries of the normality of employee behavior in comparison with each other, determines what influence the news agenda has on the user, and also measures the level of involvement in the workflow.

"The news of partial mobilization in Russia was shocking for many, leading to increased anxiety, reduced employee performance and impulsive actions. With emotional strain, it is difficult for people to control themselves, so it is important for managers to understand what is happening in the company and help the team cope with anxiety in time. Our development will allow to assess the situation and predict risks - it will show the beginning and end of the working day, record irrelevant activity or a decrease in the effectiveness of a specialist, identify the most active employees, notify management about the search for a new job by a specialist and help to take care of personnel in time - said Alexander Kanatov, Operating Director of Stakhanovets.

The system does not need access to the Internet. All processes are carried out within the corporate network, without connecting to third-party servers. This not only reduces risks, but also allows you to use the complex inside the closed perimeter.

In the near future, a number of improvements to Stakhanovets are provided, including a comprehensive modernization of reports, an interface, the development of functions related to intelligent analytics of work screen content, documents, identification of the tone of voice conversations and much more.

2019: Stakhanovets 8

Given the prevalence of Telegram, this is an extremely important channel of business communications for control.

"Stakhanovets" brings biometric authentication to PCs and, laptops even not equipped with fingerprint scanning modules and tools (face recognition FaceID, Windows Hello, etc.). In addition, the authorizations system records the presence of an employee at the workplace and determines whether someone else is using computer it by reporting it to security. The biometrics feature is available on any computer equipped with a webcam. Face recognition is performed by pre-trained and. neuronet artificial intelligence Biometric data at the same time, employees remain inside the perimeter of the organization: the technology developed by Stakhanovets does not need to be connected to. To the Internet

The added features of the eighth version of Stakhanovets significantly expanded the ability to monitor employee behavior at work computers. macOS support helps to establish control over creative teams and staff working in home office mode. The distribution of the solution to the Ubuntu and Astra Linux platforms makes it possible to implement monitoring in government agencies that are prescribed to use Russian-made operating systems. But the main thing is that the biometrics function using webcams actually blurs the boundaries between the information and physical security of enterprises. Our product can be used as a single tool to carry out the tasks of the two relevant departments. With its help, digital transformation comes to the corporate function of physical security, which, as previously thought, is unrealistic to digitize, says director of the Stakhanovets project Nikita Rogozin

Stakhanovets 5.2

On January 27, 2015, Stakhanovets announced the release of version 5.2. The functionality of the software complex has been expanded due to the keyboard handwriting module.

The work of the keyboard handwriting module is based on the author's technology proposed by the CTO of the project Sergey Shamshin. It was created based on the results of a study that studied the features of entering text by different people on different keyboards in different states. Thus, the characteristic features of typing inherent in each and of an individual nature were statistically reliably identified. The influence of alcohol, fatigue and other conditions on the characteristics of keyboard handwriting has been studied. For example, one bottle of beer with a strength of 4.5 degrees increases the reaction time by 3-5%, and the number of typos - by 3-7%. Keyboard handwriting analysis technology provides company managers with the opportunity to observe the emotional state of the team and take action if the discipline or morale of the team fails.

The presence of a keyboard handwriting module in Stakhanovets helps:

• Identify the user by the text he typed - is it really that employee at the computer or does someone else perform actions for him;
• Detect user substitution - for example, when an employee who does not have access to important commercial information tries to obtain it through the computer of a colleague who has such rights;
• Find the author of a specific text - which of the users in the company entered the text on this PC in a suspicious period of time;
• Determine the user who is in an atypical state and the specific time period during which the user has been in this state.

"The new software module is our answer to the challenges that business is experiencing today," said Andrei Ignatov, CEO of Stakhanovets. - The situation in the economy can affect office employees in different ways. Some are working with doubled energy. Others are set to leave, taking a customer base to sell it. Someone relieves stress with alcohol right during working hours. All these are risks that go beyond IT and lie, rather, in the plane of the moral and psychological state of the team. "Stakhanovets" with keyboard handwriting is perhaps the only solution on the market that helps prevent and mitigate these risks. "

The cost of the product depends on the number of licenses and is 1200-1800 rubles. per workplace. The license for one user is unlimited and fully functional, free of charge. For companies-users of the Stakhanovets system, preferential conditions for updating are provided.

"Stakhanovets" considered the effectiveness of the use of ICT

On July 23, 2015, Business Laboratory announced the calculations of Stakhanovets in terms of the use of software and hardware on computers in Russian companies.

According to these estimates, more than 40% software is not used on computers in Russian companies, or was launched once. The computing power of workstations is excessive, and on the Internet the average employee spends a third more time than in applications for work Softline (Venture Partners project).

Key study figures:

• About half (40%) of applications installed on workstations in Russian companies are not used at all, or were launched once. Part of this software is paid. 90% of the active user interaction with the computer is accounted for by 15% of programs.

• Office computers have excessive computing power. The average CPU utilization is 11%. With a hard drive capacity of 250-500 GB, 200 GB remains free. The situation with RAM is somewhat better. It is 70% loaded.

• The average user interacts with the computer 71% of the working day. At the same time, it is 30% longer on the Internet than in work applications. At the same time, 40% of the time spent on the Internet is somehow related to the performance of work tasks.

• The functionality of Microsoft Office is more familiar to users. Employees spend 6-8% less time performing standard tasks within the Office than in other office packages.

• Each office employee sends an average of 4-5 pages per day to print. About 20-30% documents are printed for personal purposes or thrown into a basket (in a shredder) within 15 minutes after printing.

"Company owners and business

leaders are looking to identify savings points. With the help of our research, it became obvious to them that one of these points is in the IT plane. To get the most objective cut and understand exactly where you can reduce costs and how to do this so as not to harm business continuity, we agreed with the heads of several dozen enterprises and collected impersonal statistics on their companies. According to the reviews of Chief information officers, only on information technologies can save about 20% of the budget without any harm to the business processes of companies, "said Mikhail Yakhimovich, co-founder of the Stakhanovets project.

The information was obtained using the IT asset accounting module, it appeared as part of the Stakhanovets software complex in February 2015. The data was collected anonymously, with the consent of 50 companies with the number of employees from 10 to 200, with a total PC fleet exceeding 3 thousand units. Companies of different industries participated in the sample - raw materials and power, finance and, banks trading companies, etc. The data was averaged by the number of computers. The study only affected computers under control. operating system Windows

2014: Stah @ Novets 5

On June 10, 2014, the Business Laboratory released the updated software complex Stakh @ novets of the fifth version - it resolves the tasks of countering the leakage of information from financial institutions by monitoring the actions of employees of the organization.

The company decided to accelerate the release of the fifth version of the Stakhanovets software complex in connection with the recent release by the Bank of Russia of an updated information security standard, which pays special attention to preventing data leaks due to the fault of employees of banking institutions. According to the published document, one of the most likely channels for leakage of confidential information, including personal data of customers, is illegal actions of bank employees.

To prevent threats of this type, the regulator proposes the use of a whole range of measures.

The Stakhanovets software package monitors the actions of employees, possible data leakage channels. The bank's security service can analyze - which files the user sent from his computer (copies of files are saved for subsequent analysis), which e-mail messages and instant messaging services (Skype, Lync, ICQ) were sent and accepted. You can record and listen to voice conversations made using Skype, determine which files the user worked with, which programs he launched, which websites he visited and which search queries he entered. Also, the software package is able to periodically save user screenshots and record video. If necessary, the security service can monitor the user, listen to surrounding conversations using a webcam and the microphone of his computer.

The release of the next, fifth version of the product is due to the need to provide customers with new functionality in the field of risk analysis. Most of the information collected so far is analyzed manually. The new version will include a risk analyzer that automatically scans all collected information and notifies the security administrator of all potential hazards. For each of them, a set of events will be shown on the basis of which the risk event was generated.

According to the developers, the changes made in the software will help reduce the analysis time and the staff of specialists involved in this process.

The developers taught Stakhanovets to distinguish between "harmful" and "useful" activity, based on the nature of the employee's activities in the company. For example, for a sales manager, time spent on LinkedIn or on a specialized forum will be considered useful by the system: he studies the profile of the client company and looks for access to decision makers. At the same time, the abnormally high activity of any representative of the team on entertainment sites will be regarded as inappropriate spending of working time and perceived as a risk.

The system began to recognize the immediate business risks associated with the leakage of information important to the company by the employee action algorithm. If the program determines that a letter is sent from the employee's personal address from the work computer, where the phrase "client base" or "financial indicators" appears, then it regards this as malicious activity. Notification about it will be immediately sent to the manager. In addition to instant alerts, all information about employees' activities is collected in special reports that are generated in real time and are available to the CEO or founder of the company in a few clicks.

The fifth version of Stakhanovets also received functionality with which, within the company, it is possible to assess the losses associated with the misuse of printers. The solution allows you to customize the cost of printing and control the corresponding costs. According to Stakhanovets' own research, about 30% of printed materials are not related to the activities of employees in the workplace, and 17% of printouts are not used at all.

"By offering the market a fifth version of Stakhanovets, we gave the manager even more opportunities to monitor the effectiveness of his team and to identify risks where heads and founders of companies usually do not expect them," said Andrei Ignatov, CEO of Stakhanovets. - If earlier the information collected by the software complex had to be analyzed independently, now the system does it automatically. The manager receives a tool that allows him to make balanced personnel decisions and know the points of cost optimization and team efficiency improvement. In not too favorable macroeconomic conditions, this is an extremely valuable opportunity. "

Ability to audit print

Aflex Distribution announced the expansion of the functionality of the Stakhanovets software complex - now users of the solution can audit printing in organizations.

Since December 2013, owners of the updated version of the product can see not only the usual information (employee's work time in a specific application, a list of sites visited by him, a list of search queries, correspondence by mail and in Internet messengers, etc.), but data on the amount of printing costs documents.

Previously, a separate software class, Managing Printing Systems (MPS), was used for this purpose. Now such functionality has been added to the system for monitoring and assessing the effectiveness of Stakhanovets personnel.

"It is

nice to be the first developers of systems for monitoring and assessing the effectiveness of personnel, who added such an opportunity as a print audit to their software product. This will allow customers to ensure control over the work of employees in another significant area, "said Mikhail Yakhimovich, commercial director of Stakhanovets.

Description of the complex

As of December 2013, the complex forms a large number of reports. With their help and the multifunctional module of online observation, the company's management knows exactly how optimal employees spend their working time, what are the malicious actions of the staff.

The structure of the STAKH @ NOVETS software complex allows you to use it to control personnel in organizations of any size - having from one to hundreds of workstations in their computer network. A distinctive feature of the complex is the ability to monitor employees and view reports through any browser from any computer , smartphone or Smart TV.

Architecture

The STAKH @ NOVETS complex is represented by the client-server architecture. The client in hidden mode transfers data to the server for further storage in the database - the data is not stored on the client machine and no additional connection is required to view reports. Monitoring of client machines "on the fly" in online mode also occurs through the server, which gives a fundamental opportunity for remote monitoring via the Internet (for this you just need to launch any web browser on any computer or smartphone).

Platform

• The complex works in all modern Windows operating systems in 32 and 64-bit versions.
• Monitoring and viewing reports is possible in any OS: Windows, Linux, Mac OS, Android.
• The terminal server is supported.
• The ability to identify clients with antiviruses as "suspicious software" is excluded.

Online observation

The BOSS-Online module of the STAKH @ NOVETS software complex has a function that allows you to listen to Skype and other programs in remote offices (and offices) through microphones (any, including web camera microphones) connected to employee computers (or servers). Moreover, if more than one microphone is connected to the computer, then the sound is mixed (i.e. the sound from different microphones is combined into one sound stream). In this way, you can control the negotiations of employees. If necessary, you can save the entire audio stream to a file for further analysis.
