About Verify Privilege Server Suite Auditing & Monitoring Service
IBM SecurityVerify Privilege Server Suite is a product category that includes the following product offerings:
- Privileged Access Service
- Authentication Service
- Privilege Elevation Service
- Auditing & Monitoring Service
The DirectControl Agent provides services for the Authentication Service and Privilege Elevation Service contained in the CentrifyDC packages. The DirectAudit Agent provides services for Auditing & Monitoring Service contained in the CentrifyDA packages.
The Auditing & Monitoring Service is a key component of Verify Privilege Server Suite. It enables detailed auditing of user activity on a wide range of UNIX, Linux, and Windows computers. With this service, you can perform immediate, in-depth troubleshooting by replaying user activity that may have contributed to system failures, spot suspicious activity by monitoring current user sessions, improve regulatory compliance, and ensure accountability by capturing and storing detailed information about the applications used and the commands executed. If you enable auditing, the Verify Privilege Server Suite Agent for Windows records user activity on the Windows computer when it is installed. Auditing & Monitoring Service supports auditing of many different UNIX, Linux, and Windows operating systems.
In Unix and Linux agents, DirectControl Agent is a pre-requisite for the Auditing & Monitoring service.
