As most WFH, I wonder companies are using some sort of employee monitor systems.

How do you know if you have been watched and how do you block it?

    Why would they even care as long as you do your work and aren't streaming porn on the company computer

    OP
    Thanks for all the responses. I simply don’t want to have some personal matter exposed such as my credit card info if I’m buying something online. Or other personal business on my gmail when I just want to check some mails really quick on the browser without needing to change my computer.

    OP - every company has different monitoring methods for laptops. I'd be surprised if any big tech company cared what you do on the machine as long as it doesn't impact your work and is not illegal.

    If you really want to dig into it, ask your security team what edr client they are using. That's probably the easiest way to find out unless you have some savvy about identifying the software yourself.

    If it's a windows machine it's probably windows defender advanced threat protection. Other os have too many other methods to lost here.
