Ensuring secure use of SSH sessions with X forwarding
First, let’s discuss how X11 forwarding works. X forwarding is a mechanism that allows a user to securely run a graphical user interface application installed on a remote Linux server.
Common X forwarding use cases
01
Running applications that can’t be installed locally
02
Running Linux applications on Windows and macOS
03
Running applications that can only be installed on
the server for security reasons
SSH X forwarded sessions create the need to secure data and applications on remote servers from both inside and outside attacks. With the help of Ekran System, you can efficiently monitor all X11 forwarded sessions inside your corporate network.

Now, let’s observe how to monitor X11 forwarded sessions with the help of Ekran System. By installing an Ekran System Client on a remote Linux server, you can start monitoring all user activity with graphical applications running on the server. Moreover, with multi-session recording, you can always return to a separate record in a particular user session for detailed analysis of a cybersecurity event.
