SCB 4 LTS adds support for the latest Citrix ICA protocol versions in order to control and audit more remote access types. With this release, SCB covers access to Windows applications from tablets and smartphones. SCB can transparently control and audit user sessions in XenDesktop 7 and XenApp 6.5 deployments, as well.
In addition, SCB can monitor user activity in Citrix ICA sessions, detecting application start-up or any window appearing on the screen. SCB can terminate connections that violate the preconfigured rules, and can also send alerts in such cases. This functionality can prevent malicious activities of Citrix users as they happen, instead of just recording them.
The improved searching abilities provide easier post-mortem incident analysis, as auditors can access detailed search results, for example, hits with precise timestamps or screenshots that contain the searched expression. The new full-text searching capabilities provide search results ranked by relevance and support for non-Latin characters.
To give you more insight, SCB 4 LTS provides a brand-new audit trail pop-up window. This window displays relevant information about the recorded session, for example, the username or the destination server, the list of alerts triggered by the session, as well as the extracted window titles and commands.
SCB provides a plugin framework to integrate it to external helpdesk ticketing (or issue tracking) systems, allowing to request a ticket ID from the user before authenticating on the target server. That way, SCB can verify that the user has a valid reason to access the server — and optionally terminate the connection if he does not.
The SCB Virtual Appliance is now officially supported on Microsoft Hyper-V, which makes it possible to deploy SCB in Microsoft’s server virtualization environment.
