Control the environement

To control IS services it is essential to be able to establish who accesses the resources and data, and detect abnormal behavior.

All accesses need to be regulated and eventually archived in order to allow this sort of action:

Security

• Stop a user from opening more than one session at a time with his account
• Remotely disconnect a user session after a certain period of inactivity
• Obtain the list of all denied logons
• Detect which user accessed a confidential file
• Know who modified access permissions to a file

Management

• Restrict user access to a specific resource
• Alert the administrator by email of a specific user’s attempts to open a session
• Know if a specific user is logged in, on what resource and since when
• Find out when a file has been modified
• Warn an administrator of excessive disk space use
• Inform an administrator of an unexpected system reboot
• Alert an administrator when errors occur on a server (Mailing, AD files, etc…)

Evolution

• Calculate the space-time repartition of session startups
• List the most frequent incidents
• Evaluate the frequency of accesses to specific data

UserLock, EvenTrigger, and FileAudit form a suite of complementary software solutions fulfilling this necessity.
