Recent security audits of some of the top software firms, including Indian MNCs headquartered in Bangalore, have revealed that some of their employees are in touch with jihadi elements in Pakistan, via the Internet, or are surfing and posting messages on radical Islamic sites and blogs during their work hours.

1) The adverse findings, pointing to Internet exchanges between employees and suspected jihadists using their respective firm’s web systems, surfing interactive jihadpreaching sites, which points to an attempt by tech-savvy terrorists to influence and indoctrinate software professionals for a possible internal sabotage against the country’s flourishing information technology industry.

2) Some of the IT employees found indulging in suspicious Internet activity are well-to-do professionals who devote a very small part of their day at work to carry out their jihadi agenda. The Indian software industry — a world leader — is seen as the most vulnerable after the more strategic oil sector.

So users what organisations should do to keep a check on this?

Organisations should keep a check on sites employees are visiting

idea posted by Inani Sarkar Sales/BD Manager, Aricent

Organisations should keep a check on all the sites employees are visiting. Indeed this is not easy. So, organisations should appoing trackers which identifies all the work an employee is doing. Any kind of suspicious work should immediately be reported to the police.

It's true that current cyber audits have raised everybodies eyebrows but than what about the privacy of the employees. Moreover, this may be a dirty attention gaining game of Content Filtering vendors who wants to rapidly cover the market. This is obviouslybe an additional IT expenditure(overhead) over the IT asset management for the Tech. companies

Yes true I totally Agree with you.organisation should keep watching not all but suspected Employees so that they can keep alrets for others.it is not only good to company but also for the nation to which we shold ready to die.

Add your argument:

In Kolkata, some intelluctuals are in touch with Maoists ... !!

idea posted by ASOKE KUSARI Domestic Private Banking-Executive/Manager, A large leading PSU Bank - India

Yes, an interesting reading. Dont understand why the higher paid IT professionals should be in touch with Jihadis ? Why office Internet should be used for such "Un-official" purposes ? Have they no work ethics ? May not their works destroy the hard earned fame of IT/BPOs of India ?

However, examples are many and wide. Some Intelluctuals and some political parties in Kolkata are in sympathy with the dreaded Maoists who wants to de-throne Govt,, its sets up by vortue of guns alone. Our PM, time and again have described the ultra-lefts ( Maoists) as the danger-most enemy of our country / democracy.

How possible that such people are indulging the causes of Maoists ? How possible that they are secretly 'funding' the Maoists ?

Appropriate Background Checks are essential at various intervals

idea posted by Himanshu Thosar Head I T, Ali & Sons C. LLC.

Background checks in terms of various identity analysis mechanisms whether online or in reality. Such checks will not only add value to the employees profile but also a confidence to the employers.

Earlier suh checks were carried out for only senior mgmt but looking at this possibility, I feel it is essential to be implemented across the organisations.

Block Keywords via Firewall

idea posted by jaideep khanduja Head of the Department - QA and Project Management, Confidential

The obnoxious keywords can be blocked and tracked by means of rules setting in the firewall so that anyone who tries to use those keywords gets a warning. At the same time management gets an alert of who is trying to use those keywords.

Keep watch and say ALL IS WELL!

idea posted by Navjeet Sood Business Head, ADI Media Pvt Ltd

Hey Inani. You start working only after attaing certain age, possess some knowledge and experience. And your ideology is also expected to be clear and firm by then. Checking the sites employees surf, creating blocks, conducting camps or any other such activities would be sheer waste of time and effort.

All that the companies should do is to keep an alert / watch silently and let no untoward incident happen. Anything more and visible effort is bound to create and equally opposite reaction. And as the IDEA says, kep saying AL IS WELL.
