User Activity Monitoring and Access Logging Tool
User activity monitoring (UAM) can stop malicious activities before they compromise security
Log user activity across your IT environment
SolarWinds® Security Event Manager (SEM) offers streamlined user activity tracking, so you can catch suspicious logon and logoff attempts across critical servers, workstations, and network devices. Leverage user activity logs to identify privileged account abuse on admin accounts and groups as well as configure automatic alerts to flag unauthorized software installations and data transfers. Security Event Manager provides complete visibility into what managed server or network device was accessed, when, and by which user account. This helps you quickly determine whether the attack is coming from the inside or from an external source.
Analyze historical user activity logs to identify anomalies
SolarWinds user activity monitoring software allows you to easily run reports that help improve compliance and security efforts. Quickly examine Active Directory data, employee account details, inactive accounts, historical access rights, permission settings, and more. If you find a pattern of suspicious activities across the network, you can do an in-depth search to reveal the audit trail and determine the employee's historical activity. Additionally, Security Event Manager helps you define correlation rules centered around this specific user so you can automate alerting for events triggered by the user activity.
Take corrective action based on user activity tracking
Security Event Manager features an in-memory correlation engine that provides robust security incident awareness in real time. You can choose from and customize hundreds of built-in rule templates to detect and respond to suspicious user activities, such as adding or removing users from admin groups or accessing a business-critical server after office hours. When SEM detects anomalies, it can perform automated corrective actions, including blocking IP addresses, sending alert pop-ups or emails, logging off the employee, restarting or shutting down the source machines, and more.
Track events in real time using SEM’s intuitive interface
SEM’s intuitive interface makes tracking events in real time simple. Not only can you use the Live Events screen to view all live event data to accelerate analysis and troubleshooting, but you can also review historical log views. Instead of manually shifting through past events, you can use the Security Event Manager’s filtering capabilities to quickly find the information you need, whether that’s past policy changes, object accesses, or logon events to auditing.
Get even better visibility with Security Observability integration
SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted can help you gain even more visibility into user activity across on-premises and cloud resources. Hybrid Cloud Observation has Security Observability integration, meaning it can be easily integrated with Security Event Manger and SolarWinds® Access Rights Manager (ARM) .
This tool can help increase your organization’s visibility and productivity by providing the insights necessary to ensure availability and reduce remediation time. It can also help reduce tool sprawl and alert fatigue.
Get More on User Activity Monitoring
Do you find yourself asking…
User activity monitoring is the process of actively monitoring and tracking the behavior of employees across IT resources owned by your company, such as devices and networks. This is often achieved via user activity monitoring software, which makes it easier to log user activity. Many businesses rely on employee activity tracking to identify and protect against security insider threats that originate from within the organization, whether those threats are intentionally malicious or not.
Depending on the size, needs, and objectives of an organization, the methods of monitoring user activity may vary. There are many advantages to using activity monitoring software to create and analyze user activity logs. While no system is absolutely foolproof or invulnerable, a robust monitoring system can help administrators more easily identify suspicious behavior, reduce information security risks across the network, and help to lessen the damage or cost should a data breach occur. User activity tracking makes use of proactive surveillance to identify behavior that could signal potential exploitations of access privileges or policies related to sensitive data protection across the company’s information infrastructure.
