However, the use of encryption imposes some restrictions on the operation of the service. Let’s list the main points that need to be taken into account:

| by SafeJKAFor the last year, cyber-criminals succeeded in a few significant cyber attacks by using weaknesses in Windows operating system, and so-called “supply chain” attack approaches. As a response, since September 2021, for the latest Windows 10 version (20H2), Microsoft turned ON by default protection against potentially unwanted apps (PUA) by blocking them when a user is downloading a setup file. Windows defender incorrectly flagged Staffcounter Setup as PUA due to functionality like screenshots, screen reading, and keylogging. At the same time, Symantec EndPoint protection also labeled the SafeJKA code signature as the “WS.Reputation” flag. We have submitted an application of False-Positive detection to both organizations. To change the StaffCounter reputation level in Windows Defender cloud-based Threat intelligence, we also have released an extra update.
For now, we assure you it is absolutely safe to install the StaffCounter Setup file. If you encounter difficulties downloading the setup file

All of us have ever been deceived. And even betrayed. Unfortunately, we are often surrounded by people who put their personal interests above honor and conscience. In our case, we will talk about subordinates – employees. The prosperity and development of any business depend on them. Perhaps they are not to blame, perhaps their life forces them to act as they do. Perhaps they can still be re-educated? Let’s try! After all, their professional skills are very important for us!
Today StaffCounter is the first solution in the world that offers End-2-End Encryption (E2EE). All of the data captured from employee’s computers will be encrypted and decrypted only for the account owner. Since this update, we hope to start an innovation for the entire industry of computer surveillance. The employee’s productivity data captured from end-point devices will be encrypted before transfer to our cloud service. The main difference with SSL encryption is that data is still kept encrypted when it reaches StaffCounter cloud storage and further, it is kept encrypted even in all types of running instances of the database, execution contexts, and processing algorithms within our cloud servers. When you login into your account the data is delivered to the web browser in initial encrypted form and being decrypted on-the-fly right on the Web Browser page by using the Java-Script program and encryption features of the browser. This feature allows adhering to GDPR compliance by design. Here we explain how to update or install new StaffCounter agent software and set up the E2EE encryption feature.
