Does your company has network-based IDS? Or local antivirus/ endpoint protection? What happens if those detect something?

In a lot of places, in case of severe signal, like computer reaching out to know malware C&C servers, the computer is taken by IT and investigated - does it really have malware? How did it get on PC? Did it propagate?

This sometimes involves digging through browser cache and history.

So even if you not recorded all the time, you should be prepared that your computer will be taken away from you at any moment and browser history examined. Such is the life in a big company.



Yep, the responses are interesting as they all assume a certain company size (which makes sense given how many faang etc. employees post here.) Eventually a company will hire IT that create their own work and aren’t mindful of the chilling effect monitoring has.

We are much smaller and still larger than the median company size in the US: https://www.naics.com/business-lists/counts-by-company-size/
