SessionAudit — Shared Session Audit

SessionAudit — Shared Session Audit

SessionAudit is a robust monitoring solution designed to provide full visibility and accountability for shared computer usage, especially in environments where multiple users log in with generic or common accounts. By integrating with an organization's user database (e.g., Active Directory), SessionAudit overlays a lock screen on shared sessions without terminating the underlying session, ensuring that every action performed can be linked to an authenticated user. This transforms previously anonymous usage into fully traceable activity, eliminating accountability gaps and enabling precise auditing of every operation.

The Problem It Solves

In many industrial and enterprise environments — such as defense testing labs, manufacturing lines, or shared workstation setups — users often log into shared computers using generic accounts across multiple shifts. Without proper monitoring, it becomes impossible to determine which user performed specific actions, creating security and compliance risks.

SessionAudit solves this problem by providing:

• Anonymous Usage Prevention — Users must authenticate through a lock screen tied to their individual accounts, even on shared systems.
• Full Traceability — Every action within a shared session can be attributed to the authenticated user.
• Seamless Integration — SessionAudit integrates with user databases and Active Directory to fetch user credentials and map activities to specific identities without disrupting ongoing sessions.

Risks of Not Using

• Untraceable Operations — Critical actions on shared systems remain anonymous.
• Insider Threat Vulnerabilities — Unauthorized changes, mistakes, or malicious actions could occur without detection.
• Compliance Failures — Lack of traceability undermines regulatory adherence such as ISO 27001 or national cybersecurity guidelines.
• Operational Ambiguity — Shift-based or multi-user environments cannot reliably document who did what.

Technical Features

• Lock Screen Overlay — Provides a user authentication layer for shared sessions without terminating active background processes.
• Database Integration — Connects with Active Directory or other internal user databases.
• Real-Time Activity Monitoring — Tracks commands, clicks, and actions performed by each authenticated user in a shared session.
• Auditable Reporting — Generates detailed reports showing who performed which actions, when, and on which system, exportable in PDF or Excel.
• Shift-Based Tracking — Perfectly suited for environments with multiple users on rotating shifts using the same workstation.
• Regulatory Compliance Ready — Fully aligned with Presidential Digital Transformation Office Information Security Guidelines (Articles 3.1.12.6 and 3.1.12.19).

Target Audience / Industries

• Defense & Aerospace — Testing equipment and mission-critical workstations used across multiple shifts.
• Manufacturing & Industrial Facilities — Shared control systems, machinery, or lab computers requiring precise audit trails.
• Banking & Finance — Shared operational terminals in back-office environments needing strict activity traceability.
• Public Sector & Government Agencies — Common computer stations in secure offices or labs requiring regulatory compliance.
• Large Enterprises & Critical Infrastructure — Any scenario where generic accounts are used for operational convenience but security and accountability cannot be compromised.
