Activity Monitoring & Security Auditing

How do I effectively audit the activity logs within the Parallel Secure Workspace? What should I look for to ensure security protocols are being followed and no unauthorized access has occurred?

Ah! So, the first thing you’ll want to do is access the activity logs, obviously. They’ll typically track all user activities—logins, data accesses, modifications, etc. Look for patterns that stand out, like failed login attempts or logins at unusual times.

Okay, so unusual login times, that makes sense. What else should I focus on? Any specific user actions that raise red flags?

Absolutely! You should pay close attention to actions like:

  • Accessing sensitive or restricted files—especially if the user doesn’t normally work with that data.
  • Multiple failed login attempts in a short time window—could indicate a brute force attempt.
  • Unusual IP addresses or locations that don’t match the user’s usual activity.
