Our work environment was pseudo legal, outside of the bounds of normal government office work. We were able to write our own policy, perform our own investigations, and even hold our own trials. I was involved in several disturbing investigations. A couple resulted in people getting fired.
One of the things I liked was the fact that I was able to deal with people who were simply out of bounds. I could call them and say, "Hi. It's MapleEngineer. I just wanted to remind you that we can see everything you do online and that you have obligations under [policy]. There is nothing in writing and if we don't talk again no one will ever find it about this conversation." That solved 95% of the problems. 4.9 percent were handled by their manager if I saw them in the logs again. Very few results in formal investigations but I was never wrong.
I wonder were there any victimless crimes? for example watching porn at home from corp laptop
if so, do you know how the trials of such cases usually went? or it's all one-on-one conversations/decisions?
I was only looking at things coming in and going out through the corporate firewall. We were in a correctional environment so porn was prohibited. I was mostly interested in things that were illegal or dangerous. I dealt with anything that wasn't criminal. Anything that wad criminal I referred up them responded to requests from the investigating officer when they came. I often got requests from managers to pull full histories and look for things that were outside of my remit like wasting time at work. I refused those requests and any that were overly broad. Once an investigator got to know me they figured out how to make requests that I would agree to fulfill.
Not on you, but forbidding porn due to it being a correctional environment seems inhumane. I'm sure they'd be happier with access to at normal porn. Restrict illegal shit of course
The problem is that many of the people inside are violent sexual offenders and porn can be used as currency in the illegal prison economy. I have no issues with porn personally but it was my job to enforce the policy. I was really only interested in illegal porn which is clearly defined in Canadian law.
Was there a reason for not only allowing connections to specific whitelisted domain's?
There were a number of people who had the legitimate and sanctioned need to access prohibited material (I was one of them). At the time (and even now) it is virtually impossible to open every website that someone might need to access. Personal use was allowed as long as it didn't impact your work and was inside the guardrails. We tried using Websense back then and it was a disaster. Virtually everyone complied with policy. There were a very small number who didn't and I was responsible for catching them.
it sounds like you can get provided for till the rest of life if you sue your previous employer. Gotta order up few kevlar shirts to court hearings just in case tho
I left there almost 15 years ago and have been working for US companies in international security. I have never looked back.
