TCS Deploys Laptop Monitoring Tool Amid Data Security and Surveillance Concerns
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has implemented a Digital User Experience Monitoring tool on some company-issued laptops, enabling tracking of application usage and time spent. While intended to enhance data security and monitor software performance, the deployment has raised internal concerns about potential employee surveillance. Experts note the tool's dual use for infrastructure management and possible oversight. TCS has not publicly detailed the software's capabilities or data access policies, and the extent of individual-level monitoring remains unclear.
