This dashboard acts as a digital watchdog for user activity within a system. It compiles data on login attempts to help administrators identify potential security risks.
Here's a breakdown of the information the dashboard offers:
- Usernames: This column displays the usernames of the individuals who logged in.
- Login Count: This section shows the number of times each user logged in during the selected timeframe. An unusually high login count for a particular user could warrant investigation, as it might indicate unauthorized access or a brute-force attack attempt.
- User Agent: This column provides details about the device and browser used by each user to access the system. For instance, it might reveal information like "Windows 10 Chrome" or "Safari on iPhone." Identifying unexpected or unrecognized user agents can be a red flag, especially if paired with a high login count or login attempts from geographically unusual locations.
- Latest Login Time: This section shows the date and time of the most recent login for each user. This can be helpful for identifying suspicious login attempts that might have occurred outside of a user's typical working hours or from a geographically impossible location.
By centralizing this data in a single dashboard, UXM empowers IT security professionals to proactively monitor user activity and identify potential security incidents. Regular review of the dashboard can help them spot anomalies, such as:
- A sudden surge in login attempts for a particular user account, especially if originating from unfamiliar locations.
- Login attempts from unrecognized devices or browsers.
- Users logging in at unusual times, outside of their established patterns.
Early detection of these anomalies can help IT admins take swift action to mitigate potential security breaches, such as resetting compromised passwords or implementing stricter login restrictions. In essence, the "UXM Login History" dashboard serves as a valuable tool for maintaining system security and user accountability.
