EKRAN Systems

Session Recording with searchable video logs

With Ekran System, you can control the work of your corporate network users, including on-site and remote users. It creates complete video records of all local, remote, and terminal sessions. It provides both live and recorded sessions so that managers can view the same anytime. It uses a greyscale format for session recording so that videos take very little space.

With Ekran System, nothing can hide: every user screen will be captured together with activity details. The product works for any network protocol, application, and architecture.

Analyze monitoring results – discover suspicious user behavior

Ekran employee monitoring software uses a combination of easy-to-analyze video record – even for Linux SSH Telnet sessions – and searchable text metadata representing activity details: application name, active window title, URL address, commands with parameters, and more. Session recording and altering can be based on the name of the launched application, the title of the active window, entered URL, or text entered via the user’s keyboard.

Advanced search across all records gives you an effective tool to perform retrospective user action analysis and incident investigation.

Employee internet monitoring

Ekran System provides detailed information about internet usage than simple network activity monitoring software as it gives full insight into how exactly employees are using their network access, including whether the website is actively interacted with or simply opened in the background.

Detailed metadata regarding internet usage can be viewed together with the session recording, allowing for easy searching and investigation of specific incidents, while several reports (including report on most visited website, least visited website, and general URL report) provide a broad overview of the internet usage within the company.

USB Monitoring & Control

An important aspect of user activity monitoring is controlling the use of connected devices. Ekran employee monitoring software includes powerful USB device monitoring and management functionality for dealing with storage devices as well as any kind of USB equipment, including modems and keyboards.

The user activity monitoring system can track device connections and can be configured to notify your security team about them. Besides monitoring, it can be set up to allow or block devices according to rules, blacklists, and whitelists. To add more flexibility, it allows you to set up manual USB device approval for critical scenarios.

This transparent approach makes deployment of any size cost-efficient. The session recording solution supports both commercial and free embedded database.

Installed on a server or a workstation, Ekran Client records video of all logged-in user sessions and accompanying metadata such as application name, URL address, keystrokes, entered Linux commands, and connected USB device details.

Ekran Pricing

Every Ekran deployment consists of the Ekran System Management Panel (one per deployment) and Ekran System Clients (corresponding to the number of monitored endpoints). Ekran pricing depends on the number of endpoints to be monitored. Each monitored endpoint needs an Ekran System Client license of the corresponding type. The Management Panel is provided for free in the Standard Edition but needs an additional license in the Enterprise Edition.

As compared to the Standard Edition, the Enterprise Edition provides more management features targeted at bigger deployments. Ekran System provides monitoring licenses for desktops and servers. While there is a single license type for desktop machines (Workstation Client license), several types of server monitoring licenses are provided depending on the server endpoint role in your corporate network.

Perpetual license & Subscription license: A perpetual license already includes 12 months of updates and support. A subscription license lasts for one year. After this time, to continue using Ekran System, you need to extend your subscription period by purchasing a new license.
