I work in my home office every now and then. If I'm logged in to the WLAN with the service notebook and someone is at home with a private notebook on the same WLAN, is there a chance that the employer will see what has been done on the private notebook?
In other words, you can find out which websites have been visited in the network, also from the private notebook? If so, how can you prevent this?
The connection to the employer is normally closed off from your private network.
As an employer, that's what you want, if possible, so that you don't run the risk of someone unknowingly introducing malware from your private system.
What does "normally" mean. Would you be completely on the safe side if you separate the service notebook from the Wi-Fi during your break, for example? Then there would be no possibility anymore?
No, that's not possible without further ado
What does "without further ado" mean? Would you be completely on the safe side if you separate the service notebook from the Wi-Fi during your break, for example? Then there would be no possibility anymore?
Since you ask in the subjunctive:
Yes, there are techniques that make this possible.
And what are they? How can we prevent this? Disconnecting the pc's service from the network should be enough or not?
I definitely won't describe that openly.
In doubt, not at all.
If in doubt, no.
Let's put it this way: If your employer condescends to use methods that make this possible, it would be a great target for our public prosecutor.
Remember: you just asked if it was possible - and that in the CONJUNCTIVE!
Thanks for your answer.
So it would be possible but not legal?
Say you needn't worry
Correctly.
Typically, your employer would need a lot of criminal energy to do what you're afraid of.
Thanks for the good answer!
Is there a way to prevent this somewhere in the settings or a program? And if you delete the browser history, for example, if you are monitored, not everything could be traced, right?
And is that only possible as long as the company notebook is online, or are you "safe" when it is disconnected? From the network
You're great, thanks for the answers!
So that is probably very unlikely: but one more question: if I really separate the company notebook from the Wi-Fi and then surf with someone's private one, then it can't be tracked if it were so? That only works as long as the company notebook is online at the same time, correct? Unless it were external Trojans etc?
is there still a useful tool?
Well, basically the notebook doesn't have to be connected to your network. It knows the WLAN key and can decrypt the data traffic with it, which it can also read as long as it is only within range of the network and is switched on.
If your private laptop is infected by a trojan, this trojan can of course see everything that is done with this laptop.
Well, the most useful tool against a trojan is basically virus protection and generally a bit careful with what you do on the PC. So do not read attachments from unknown mails, always pay attention to the sender of all mails, do not download unknown programs from dubious sites and generally always pay attention to warnings from your browser or other programs.
