Syteca User Activity Monitoring (UAM) Guide

FAQ

User activity monitoring solutions allow you to track user activity within your corporate network, across devices, and throughout your entire IT infrastructure. With user activity tracking tools, you can identify who is interacting with which applications, sites, and data and how.

With a user tracking system, you can strengthen your current cybersecurity, protect confidential data from malicious actors, and enhance your insider risk management strategy.

Yes. Digital user monitoring is legal, but it’s regulated by legislation.

To learn how to monitor user activity legally, you should check the applicable laws within your jurisdiction. Typically, laws require businesses to inform users about monitoring practices and receive their consent. If your organization operates in the US, you should pay attention to both federal and state laws, as state laws can have their own varying requirements.

Syteca is a powerful cybersecurity platform that ensures comprehensive user activity monitoring.

In particular, Syteca monitors user activity in real time, producing audio and video recordings of user sessions that you can watch later if needed. All metadata generated during the recording process is searchable. Thus, you can find out whether a user has accessed certain data, launched specific applications, or visited particular websites during working hours.

Even if your internet connection is lost, Syteca continues monitoring user activity in the network.

No. Syteca does not interfere with the user experience. It monitors user activity smoothly without disturbing users.

However, Syteca can interrupt a user’s work if their actions are flagged as suspicious. You can configure Styeca to display a warning to users explaining that a particular action violates cybersecurity policies. In addition, your security admins can automatically or manually block suspicious sessions, users, and processes as needed.

When monitoring user activity on an organization’s network, Syteca gathers the necessary data and stores it securely using military-grade encryption. Syteca doesn’t store passwords entered by users who are being monitored.

Syteca is much more than an employee tracking system. Deploying the platform enables you to:

  • Know who accesses your sensitive data and how they handle it with robust real-time user monitoring
  • Prevent data leaks and breaches caused by insiders by detecting suspicious activity and instantly responding to it
  • Enhance your cybersecurity by automatically sending notifications when users violate cybersecurity policies
  • Evaluate employee efficiency by analyzing productivity reports
  • Ensure compliance with various standards, laws, and regulations, including the GDPR, NIST, NIS2, DORA, FISMA, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and SWIFT

As a robust insider threat management platform, Syteca can easily be adapted to the specific needs of your organization.

For example, tell Syteca to deliver automatic custom reports on a schedule convenient to you, or quickly export a full monitored session or a fragment of it in a tamper-proof format as evidence during incident investigation.

Syteca UAM supports various deployment options. You can install the Syteca Client on each endpoint, or just install one Syteca Terminal Server Client on a jump server to enable user activity monitoring of all sessions that run on the server.

If you have any questions or doubts during the deployment process, our 24/7 customer support team is always there for you.

When used ethically and responsibly, UAM tools can offer the following advantages for your business:

  • Enhanced security — UAM can help your organization detect insider threats, data breaches, and unauthorized access attempts.
  • Improved compliance — Monitoring user activity can help your business comply with the GDPR, NIST, HIPAA, and other cybersecurity requirements.
  • Increased productivity — You can assess the results of user activity monitoring to optimize workflows and detect what distracts your employees.

The benefits of user activity monitoring for employees are less clear-cut compared to those for businesses. These benefits include:

  • Increased individual productivity — Employees can identify areas for improvement and optimize their own workflow based on employers’ feedback on users’ personal work patterns.
  • Improved cybersecurity habits — With UAM, you can detect risky user behavior and tailor security awareness training, potentially contributing to employees’ and organizational security.
  • Targeted approach to employee development — You can use the monitored data to identify skill gaps or areas where employees struggle the most and create targeted training and development programs.

To ensure that user activity monitoring benefits your employees and doesn’t evoke privacy concerns, it’s vital to maintain transparency and clear communication about the use of UAM in your organization.

A perceived lack of transparency and privacy can be seen as a disadvantage of user activity monitoring (UAM), especially when such programs are used unethically. If employees are unaware of the type of data being collected, how it’s being used, and for what purposes, it can foster mistrust and resentment, ultimately damaging employee morale and productivity.

Therefore, it’s critical to communicate clearly and establish policies to ensure user privacy for user activity monitoring to be beneficial. Some UAM solutions also allow you to anonymize your employees’ personal data to comply with data privacy regulations.
