It is very hard to detect a keylogger’s activity. Hence, a Network Administrator should take the following steps as countermeasures against software keyloggers:

* Actively monitor the programs running on the server.
* Monitor the network whenever an application attempts to make a network connection.
* Use commercially available anti-keyloggers, such as PrivacyKeyboard.
* Update one’s antivirus regularly.
* Use on-screen keyboards and speech-to-text conversion software which can also be useful against keyloggers, as there are no typing or mouse movements involved.
