In today's era of surging technological waves, enterprises are like giant ships sailing in the sea, facing countless challenges and opportunities. And one challenge that is often overlooked but extremely crucial is employees' software installation behavior during working hours.

Imagine what consequences will occur when employees freely install various softwares on their work computers? This is not just a small problem; there is a huge risk hidden behind it.

First, let's discuss why prohibiting employees from randomly installing software is so important:

  1. In terms of security risks, the software installed inadvertently by employees is likely to become a "time bomb" for enterprise security. Those unauthorized softwares are like enemies hidden in the dark, and may carry malicious codes, viruses or spyware at any time. Once these dangerous elements invade the enterprise network, the valuable data of the enterprise is at risk of being stolen and destroyed, which is undoubtedly a disaster for the enterprise.
  2. Looking at work efficiency. Unmanaged software installation will plunge the enterprise's computer system into chaos. System conflicts, performance degradation and even crashes may follow one after another. Moreover, employees spend a lot of time on installing and learning new softwares, and the time that should have been used for efficient work is wasted in vain. Work progress is delayed, and the enterprise's benefits will also be seriously affected.
  3. In addition, compliance requirements are also a key factor. Some specific industries or enterprises are constrained by strict regulations and compliance requirements. To ensure the legal and compliant operation of the enterprise, all softwares must be approved and comply with regulations.

So, how should enterprises deal with this challenge? At this time, we have to talk about OsMonitor computer monitoring software. It can provide enterprises with a series of effective solutions.

Method 1: Set to prohibit custom window opening and custom exe program running. In the ingenious settings of OsMonitor, the administrator is like a wise guardian and can precisely limit specific behaviors by adding keywords. For example, in the scenario of prohibiting software installation, add keywords such as "setup", "installation", and "install". In this way, when employees try to run or install software, the system will be like a vigilant sentry, automatically detect keywords and quickly stop them. Unauthorized software can no longer be easily installed, building a strong security line for the enterprise.

Method 2: Set up a limited task set. The limited task set function of OsMonitor software is even more magical. By enabling this function, the administrator can stipulate that employees can only run the specified programs recorded by themselves. The recording process is not complicated. The administrator selects the client machine in the monitoring list, right-clicks and selects the option to record a limited task set. Then, run the allowed program on the client machine. After stopping the recording, enable the limited task set on the management machine. In this way, the client machine can only obediently run the programs specified by the administrator, and non-specified programs cannot be run or installed at all.

When enterprises cleverly combine these two methods of OsMonitor computer monitoring software, it is like building a solid fortress for the enterprise. It will neither stimulate employees' normal work emotions nor successfully prohibit them from randomly installing software. At the same time, it can greatly improve information security and work efficiency. The work environment becomes fresh and orderly, and employees can also be more focused on their work, and the development of the enterprise will be even more powerful.
