At work when on web sites like banking, e mail, sports ect. how can a network monitor my web surfing. I mean I have personel information out there. Can my manager or anyone else see these? If I connect to a router on the road too like at e cafe where you can connect on the way to a client?
How safe is my information?|||The answer is you do not own the network you use, so the owner is allowed to monitor that traffic as long as they give you fair warning.
A network administrator is not interested in your traffic, but making sure you get from point a to point b, without any errors or congestion.
A security guy is going to use third party software on the network that is configured to capture all your web surfing activitiy. If security has given permission to your Manager to view your information he might do so.
Since this is the field I work, I would say 99% of the time, we don't care what you are surfing on the internet as long as it doesn't violate policy. You can rest assure your information is private, but know that "we're" watching.
At an e cafe make sure your Firewall is on, and you are using a site that supports https on any website you are concerned about your privacy.|||If you connect to a web site using https (encrypted connection), then the only thing your boss or the network gnomes see is that you connected to the site -- they can't necessarily see what type of transactions your are doing.
As for your web surfing while on the road, you have to assume that everything -- including encrypted connections -- might be visible due to a variety of attack vectors that are available.|||Yes they can.
You should assume that they do.
They are LEGALLY liable if you do something that you should NOT do!
You are pretty safe.|||If any monitoring/keylogger software is installed on your computer, they can. My employer uses Protemac Keybag and Actymac Dutywatch to do this.|||they can monitor with monitoring software:
