New in 2019.11: New workspace audit log

A critical component of any organization’s security framework is the ability to reproduce what happened and when. This is especially true when multiple people have access to critical security infrastructure and settings. Those responsible for security matters should be given the tools to make regular audits of the state of security, so they can confirm that no unauthorized modifications were performed.

Plain text log files are useful for such audits but usually grow huge within a short time. This makes it difficult to find the right piece of information quickly. That’s why we have created a new workspace audit log section in Emsisoft Management Console that allows admins to easily filter, group and browse the activity history of users and their devices.

The new Workspace audit log includes activities such as:

• Workspace setting(s) changes.
• User logins and logouts.
• User roles/permission changes.
• Adding and removal of devices.
• Protection policy changes on device-, group- and template level.
• Malware scans.
• Notification settings changes.
• Use of web APIs.

To access the new workspace audit log, please navigate to your workspace in MyEmsisoft and select the new sub-menu ‘Audit log’.

How to obtain the new version

As always, so long as you have auto-updates enabled in the software, you will receive the latest version automatically during your regularly scheduled updates, which are hourly by default.

Note to Enterprise users: If you have chosen to receive “Delayed” updates in the Update settings for your clients, they will receive the new software version no earlier than 30 days after the regular “Stable” availability. This gives you time to perform internal compatibility tests before a new version gets rolled out to your clients automatically.

Have a great and well-protected day!
