This means that your remote workforce will continue to be monitored and restricted even when mobile devices disconnect from the network.
The client agent stores and enforces the policies locally on the device. The monitoring systems’ last known policies will continue to be enforced even if the computer loses internet connection or connects to a different network.
Note: If you wish to update policies on client agents outside of the network they will need to be able to communicate with the CurrentWare Server. Once a connection is reestablished you will receive your employee’s computer usage data and any CurrentWare policy updates will take effect.
Does CurrentWare Have Access to My Employee Monitoring Data?

Computer monitoring tools can also be used to monitor offsite devices; all that’s needed is a simple port forwarding configuration, deployment to a cloud-based virtual machine, or a VPN. You can learn more about using CurrentWare’s computer monitoring software to monitor remote workers here.
