Citrix XenDesktop monitoring and control

Ekran System workstation clients can be installed on any live Citrix XenDesktop and included in system images to be preinstalled on any new virtual desktop.

  • Names of active applications
  • Opened URLs
  • Keystrokes
  • Connected USB devices (virtual and physical)
  • and other details

When a user performs an abnormal or security-critical action, your team will be notified and provided with incident context so they can check what’s going on and respond immediately. For the most critical cases, alerts can be augmented with automated incident response actions, such as blocking the user, killing the application, and/or displaying a warning message.

Citrix XenApp monitoring and control

Ekran System is a well-thought-out solution for Citrix XenApp monitoring. For Citrix server monitoring, its Terminal Server client can be installed directly on a published application server, simultaneously recording all concurrent sessions and providing real-time incident detection and response.

The client can be used for Citrix XenApp session recording selectively, only recording for a range of users or host IP addresses or only recording those sessions outside of a white list. Each session recording includes a video recording of the user’s screen (showing all or only selected activities) indexed with details on activities, such as keystrokes or active window title.

Ekran System’s complex alerting system works not only for virtual desktops but for Citrix XenApp sessions as well. Besides alerting about potentially dangerous actions within a session, the system can notify your security team when a session is being established by specific users or from specific IPs. Critical alerts can trigger automated incident response actions such as terminating a session or blocking a user.

In addition to Citrix environments, Ekran System also supports VMware and physical infrastructures in any hybrid scheme. Watch the video to learn more.
