Event Logs
Event logs have been a feature of the MS Operating System (Windows) since the
original release of Windows NT in 1993. Designed to provide an audit trail of
system use, event logging records the actions that occur within the system, such
as users logging in, failure of a component to start, or an attempt to print a
document.
Every event that occurs across a network can be recorded in an event log file.
The list of events that are recorded by default can be modified to reflect the
needs of the organization's system.
WebSpy’s ability to translate event log file data into manageable information
will enable organizations to:
Monitor failed authentication attempts
Identify users trying to access files and folders they are not authorized to
access, or the system failing to provide legitimate user access.
Prevent data loss and leakage
Identify the access, modification or printing of confidential files to prevent
information leakage or identify the person behind accidental or deliberate data
loss.
Ensure employees adhere to specified work schedules
Monitor event logs that record when an employee’s computer has been powered on or
shut down.
WebSpy’s Vantage range can analyze
and report on event logs from network and security devices.
