TCS Deploys Laptop Monitoring Tool Amid Data Security and Employee Privacy Concerns
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has deployed a Digital User Experience Monitoring tool on company-issued laptops, allowing the company to track application usage and time spent on them. While the tool aims to enhance data security and monitor software performance, concerns have arisen about potential employee surveillance and privacy. TCS has not publicly detailed the software's capabilities, data collected, or access controls. Experts note such tools can serve both security and monitoring purposes, but the extent of individual tracking remains unclear.
