In the daily work environment, companies often need to authorize employees to access and use sensitive company data. However, most companies lack visibility into how employees are actually utilizing this data, and whether any misuse is occurring. At the same time, companies have to meet internal audit requirements and comply with various data security regulations and policies. This creates a need for the IT department to find ways to effectively monitor and record how employees are using the company's data. Additionally, management is seeking proactive security alerts that can detect abnormal user behavior, allowing them to take immediate action to minimize potential risks and damages to the organization. While Windows does have built-in logging capabilities, these logs can be difficult to read and interpret. Furthermore, the logs are stored locally on individual user machines, making it challenging for administrators to centrally review and analyze user activity records. There are enterprise-grade solutions like SIEM systems that provide comprehensive user activity monitoring and reporting. However, these sophisticated tools can be cost-prohibitive, especially for small to medium-sized businesses.
The key security challenge lies in finding a simple, user-friendly and cost-effective logging solution that can satisfy the company's requirements for visibility into employee file activities, compliance reporting, and proactive security monitoring - all within a centralized platform accessible to IT and management. more
