We have received orders from the managing parter to start monitoring a specific employees internet behavior (most notably email and IM usage), and this also complies with our technology manual that each employee signs that all activities on a work computer or on the work network can be monitored.
The reason for this is the employee is believed to be leaking company secrets to the competition. We are not a large office (20 employees total) but we deal with information that our clients trust us with.
So my question is how do you monitor IM traffic? After looking at our logs AIM and Facebook are the two widest used protocols.
Any ideas? Sorry for this type of question, I know they are usually frowned upon but searching google leads me to some very shaddy sites.
