Does EY track browsing history on computers? I’m asking just to know if we use company devices for personal use such as gmail/YouTube/Netflix/online banking, would they know or care?

Makes sense, thank you!

Yes they can, but no they don’t care and don’t monitor. Their time is best spent with data protection and theft.

They can. If they have a reason to suspect you doing something that would warrant it, they can pull all information off of your computer. Treat your work computer as if it’s always under surveillance because it is

As someone in Cyber, specifically Insider Threat, this is not how any of it works

They don’t care about streaming (assuming you’re doing this after work, not during) and you going on other personal sites (I.e., social media, banking, email, etc.).

As long as you’re not watching porn or stealing information, they won’t care.

Do they know? Yes. Do they care? Very unlikely.

Despite this, I still use my personal devices for personal stuff, and limit non-professional usage of my work computer to things like news, using firm benefits, and travel research. Little/nothing that exposes my personal accounts or info.

Former EY IT. They don’t care, they block the naughty sites but there is so much noise they have bigger fish and problems to fry. They also expect with the number of travelers that streaming is going to be a given and that many clients will require the use of services not officially supported by EY.
