The User Monitoring „Pyramid”

Activity Records -security camera

System logs -snapshots

Logging is not enough…

1. Several security events are not logged!

2. Logs typically do not show what was done.

3. Logs often show only obscure techn. details.

Key questions to answer…

Can you ensure the accountability of your IT staff?

Can you monitor the actions of your „superusers”?

Can you reliably control your outsourcing partners?

Do you really know „who access what” on servers?

Can you conduct quick and cheap audits at your company?

Can you present bullet-proof evidence in legal proceedings?

Are you sure you’d pass audits concerning user monitoring?
