Application scenarios

The SafeGuard Enterprise logging functionality is a user-friendly and comprehensive solution for recording and analyzing events. The following examples show typical application scenarios for SafeGuard Enterprise Reports.

Central monitoring of endpoints within a network

The security officer wants to be informed about critical events (for example, unauthorized data access, a number of failed logon attempts within a specified time frame) on a regular basis. Using a logging policy, the security officer can configure logging processes to log all security-related events occurring on the endpoints in a local log file. This log file is transferred to the SafeGuard Enterprise Database by the SafeGuard Enterprise Server after a number of events has been reached. The security officer can retrieve, view and analyze the events in the Event Viewer of the SafeGuard Management Center. The processes performed on different endpoints can be audited without staff being able to influence logging.

Monitor mobile users

In general, mobile users are not constantly connected to the company network. Sales representatives may for example disconnect their notebooks for a meeting. As soon as they log on to the network again, the SafeGuard Enterprise events logged during the offline period are transferred. The logging functionality provides an exact overview on the user's activities during the time that the computer was not connected to the network.
