Session Audit Log Video Presentation System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing privileged access auditing systems require special software installation on terminal devices, making it difficult for users to view and analyze access logs, and often necessitate assistance from security professionals, with security concerns and installation challenges.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that captures audit log data and generates a video presentation of system sessions, allowing for web-based display without the need for additional software installation, using a processor and memory configured to receive, process, and display the log data as a video stream.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If special software is installed on terminal devices to view audit logs, then the capability to view and analyze access logs is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to installation difficulty and security concerns
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the terminal device and audit log data. Instead of installing software on the terminal to access logs, the terminal sends requests to the server, which then retrieves and delivers the audit log data. This mediator approach eliminates installation requirements while maintaining full audit log viewing capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical approach of installing local software with a network-based data transmission system. Audit log data is transmitted over the network from the server to the terminal device, substituting the need for local software installation with remote data delivery through standard communication protocols.
2Measurement precision
If specialized auditing tools are deployed to provide visibility into administrator activities, then the measurement precision of audit monitoring is improved, but the device complexity increases due to special software requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the audit log viewing functionality from the terminal device and relocates it to a centralized server. The complex processing and data retrieval operations are performed on the server side, while the terminal device only needs to send simple requests and display received data, significantly reducing device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The server provides a universal platform that can serve multiple terminal devices simultaneously, handling audit log requests from various users through a single system. This multi-functional approach consolidates what would otherwise require individual software installations on each terminal into one centralized solution.
Data Source
AI summary
Methods and apparatus for generation of session audit log displays are disclosed. Audit log data is captured in association with at least one session in a computerized system. A video presentation is generated based on the captured audio log data. A video presentation of at least a part of the at least one session can then be displayed based on the generated data.
