    Ouch, I would not like to be a Sony employee right now. It seems that these guys are going balls to the wall. He makes it sounds like everything someone does now will be scrutinized by security.

    Sony aims to monitor staff behaviour and keep an eye out for security gaps and suspicious activity on a system-wide level.
    Fair enough. I can understand that a company of Sony's caliber would want to do this. They have taken strain because of that whole debacle and they want to keep their stuff secure.

    “We are looking to see if there are key elements within a person’s interaction with their environment. That could be interaction with badging systems, with telephones – when and who do they call – and with systems like browser habits and applications used,” he said. “All these things allow us to set up a pattern for users, so when something different happens we can respond.”
    Now that I am not too keen on. I can't imagine that people are going to be wildly excited by being spied on...but unfortunately, these will be the prime methods for information to spread to outside sources, if it were to be passed on by an insider.
    That's what she said.

    Sounds like an overly complicated solution if you ask me...

    Complicated? Yes. But I suppose it is also necessary. The outage that they had last year was some serious business.
