01 · What it is

Session Recording, made clear.

For the accesses that count — administrators, external suppliers, operations on critical systems — 'who did what' must have a video answer. Session Recording records the sessions by policy (not all: the right ones), indexes the events (apps opened, files touched) and makes them searchable and replayable: the audit goes through the replay.

Per policy
you record what's needed: sensitive users, apps or servers
Cercabile
indexed events: you find the moment, you don't watch everything

The right perimeter

Recording everything is illegal and useless: targeted policies, the DPO involved, the notices in order.

Smart triggers

The recording that starts on the event (critical app opened): the signal, not the noise.

Retention and accesses

Who can see the recordings, for how long: the register has its own rules.

Sized storage

The sessions weigh: compression and lifecycles for a sustainable archive.

03 · In depth

Session recording: compliance and forensics

Session Recording records the ICA sessions by policy (per user, group, published app: not everything always, but the sensitive yes): the player reconstructs the activity with the indexed events (process launches, files transferred, URLs), the watermark discourages the screenshot, the encryption and the signature protect the archives, the roles separate who records from who reviews; it's the tool for external administrators, privileged workstations and the regulated sectors' audit requirements.

  • Policy mirate — you record the sensitive (admins, suppliers), not the whole company
  • Eventi indicizzati — you jump to the right moment: the player isn't watched in real time
  • Firma e cifratura — the tamper-proof archive: the evidence that holds
  • Ruoli separati — who reviews isn't who administers: the segregation of duties
  • Watermark — the visual deterrent on the sensitive sessions
  • Notifica utente — the on-screen notice: the privacy handled correctly

The control of privileged accesses is a requirement: policies, retention and privacy set up by us — the recording that's needed, not the surveillance.
05 · Use cases

Where it really pays off.

Privileged accesses

The admin's session, documented.

External suppliers

The maintainer recorded: trust AND verification.

Internal investigations

The fact reconstructed from the replay, not from memories.

On the critical systems trust gets documented: the replay is there — configured with judgment (and with the DPO).
