Detect threats faster and boost productivity with
User Activity Monitoring

Apply Teramind’s user activity monitoring toolkit to strengthen your defensive posture against cyber threats. Detect insider threats to your organization faster and block malicious activity as it happens.

Teramind’s toolkit monitors and analyzes virtually any user action taken on an endpoint. Keep your data secure by identifying risky users, actions and activities before they result in data loss.

Smart Rules & Automated Alerts

Intelligent, scriptable rules and automated alerts define what counts as a policy violation and automatically respond when violations are detected.

  • Configurable rules closely track all employee activities to provide comprehensive monitoring of security, compliance and productivity behavior;

  • Real-time alerts let administrators know when employee activities are in violation of defined rules;

  • Automated response actions warn, block or lockout a user when they conduct rule-violating activities.

Live View & Historical Playback

Visual recordings of all user activities provide administrators a way to view actions in real time and collect valuable forensic evidence for investigations.

  • Session video recordings allow administrators to view live employee activity from any web browser;

  • Historical session archiving gives IT security and admins the ability to thoroughly investigate security incidents and noncompliant activity;

  • High speed search lets you retrieve recorded activity and actions in seconds;

  • Privacy configurations keep users’ personal activities secure and block their viewing in playback.

Optical Character Recognition

Optical character recognition (OCR) performs high-speed searches of recorded sessions for sensitive content in structured and unstructured formats.

  • Comb session recordings using optical character recognition to find sensitive information appearing on screen, even in images and videos;

  • Notify administrators when any rule-defined text appears on screen. Prebuilt OCR template rules include Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Protected/Personal Health Information (PHI) or Personal Financial Information (PFI);

  • Perform OCR searches of all monitored network activity, including third-party vendors and contractors;

  • Use simple text, keyword, wildcard or regular expressions (RegEx) to find exactly what you’re looking for.

Website & Application Monitoring

In-depth website and application monitoring ensures that employee internet usage is in-line with the organization.

  • Highly configurable labeling enables websites and apps to be categorized as productive or unproductive;

  • Built in and customizable categorization provides enhanced productivity reporting;

  • Get immediate alerts when users are being too unproductive or violating the organization’s internet policies;

  • Inspire productivity with insights gained from web and app tracking reports.

Email Monitoring

Teramind’s email monitoring tracks all incoming & outgoing emails, message contents and attachments.

  • View and track email usage by any property including text contents, sender or recipient, attached files and email frequency;

  • Track email on any platform and surveil email transport to protect against data exfiltration attempts;

  • Monitor email correspondence to ensure it meets company standards and is in-line with company email policies and procedures.

File Transfer & Web File Tracking

File transfer and web file tracking keep an eye on how files are being used including file creation, deletion, access or write operations, and web-based uploads and downloads.

  • Learn how employees are using company data with complete file activity metrics that inform productivity analysis;

  • Limit how files are used or block access of the file altogether;

  • Block web-based file sharing systems such as Dropbox or Google Drive and prevent email & instant message file sharing;

  • Track a file’s movement through the system, regardless of whether or not the file was opened or if edits were made.

Instant Message Monitoring

Monitor employee sentiment and engagement, compliance and security through Teramind’s instant messaging monitoring feature.

  • Capture all IM exchanges on web and app-based messaging platforms to maintain data security and compliance;

  • Gain visibility into employee sentiment with IM monitoring rules scripted by regular expression;

  • Maintain decorum with inappropriate keyword prevention, get alerts when employee language is out of line;

  • Preserve employee privacy with customizable settings that prohibit personal message monitoring.

Keystroke Logger

Keystroke Logger keeps track of every keystroke and keyboard command made by users to identify malicious activity and enrich employee productivity analysis.

  • Gain granular productivity insights into your workforce based on captured keyboard activity;

  • Track, get alerted to and prevent malicious keystroke activity like registry queries or file and data searches;

  • Configure the keystroke logger to keep employees’ personal information private and avoid recording items like credit card numbers or bank accounts.

Printed Document Tracking

Printed document tracking monitors all types of document printing, both to a physical printer and when documents are printed in PDF format.

  • Printing logs record all print requests made to track printer use and physical data exfiltration attempts;

  • Printed document rules, alerts and automated response alert admins of sensitive file printing or block it altogether;

  • View printed files from the dashboard and see who, where and in what format the document was printed;

  • Use activity data collected by printed document tracking to enrich security reports and compliance audits.

Online Meeting Monitoring

Online meeting monitoring provides details on all the meetings and collaboration sessions users perform via video conferencing.

  • Online meeting and video conferencing monitoring logs when meetings happen, the app used, duration, participants and the direction of the call;

  • View screen and audio playback of online meetings to make sure employees are having productive meetings and all participants were actively engaged.

Remote Desktop Control

Remote desktop controls give administrators the power to take over a user’s desktop to prevent attacks as they’re happening or provide hands-on remote training.

  • A single-click icon while live viewing any session lets admins immediately take over desktop control;

  • User override and lockout prevents manual inputs from the endpoint machine to prevent data exfiltration and other malicious activities;

  • Remote desktop control provides engaged and active employee training for remote and hybrid staff in need of focused direction.
