Overview

UserLock functionality

UserLock significantly reinforces Windows infrastructures security by giving network administrators the possibility to:

• implement and enforce efficient restriction and access policies for Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 networks (LAN and WAN)
• be alerted when specific events occur (accepted logins, denied logins…) by user or user group
• remotely log off or lock a user session
• monitor in real time all connectivity on the network
• automatically log activity and generate precise session reports and statistics

You will be able to:

• limit the amount of simultaneous sessions (same ID, same password) per user or per user group
• limit user access to the network per computer or computer range (department, room, floor, building…)
• know at any time what user(s) is/are connected, on what workstation(s), since when…

How does UserLock work?

UserLock is very simple to use and doesn’t require any prior training.

Only a few minutes are necessary to get UserLock running and securing access to your network:

• Install UserLock on a Windows server (needn’t be the domain controller) and select the zone you wish to protect (all trusted domains, one domain or an organisational unit) using the setup assistant.  
• Deploy the UserLock ‘agent’ (100 KB dll) to a selection of workstations from the administration console.  
• Define for each user or user group the total amount of simultaneous sessions allowed.  
• Define for each user or user group the workstation(s) from which they can login.  

Why buy UserLock?

• help toward your information systems compliance as to multiple international regulations and standards (HIPAA, Sarbane-Oxley, GLBA, NIST/FIPS, ITIL, COBIT, CISP, ISO 17799…)
• Significantly reinforce your Information System’s Security by:
  • eradicating hazardous user practices such as:
    - Reading unintended emails
    - Sending emails under a usurped identity
    - Accessing unauthorised files
    - Using passwords stored in Windows
    - Concealing any malpractices behind false ID
    
  • monitoring in real time all session activity and knowing at all times who is connected, from where and since when…
  • setting popup or email alerts for specific events per user or group (denied logons, successful logons, logoffs…).  
• optimising your network’s usage (public or shared workstations in open spaces, classrooms, departments…) by:
• Stopping users from logging on to several workstations simultaneously
• Remotely controlling all sessions (lock, logoff, reset…)
