Scout Analytics SU5 is Live

Posted by: Development Team

Scout Analytics Service Update 5 (SU5) went live on September 10. SU5 enhances the data collector with the following capabilities.

Remediation Manager
Remediation Manager provides an automated workflow to assist in decreasing unlicensed use on your service. Within the Remediation Manager setup, the account sharing criteria is entered that will determine which accounts will enter remediation. The criteria values are based on the number of patterns, pervasiveness and frequency that sharing has been detected on the account. The remediation steps are configurable and can include an alert to the user while logging on, email notices, password changes, enabling strong authentication and locking the account. While sharing continues, the account will progress through the remediation workflow steps. If sharing stops for a defined number of days, the account will be taken out of remediation.

This feature requires integration to your access management services. The remediation steps are passed to your system via a web service call, and when your system performs the step, returns the completion information to the web service. Scout for SafeMLS from Clareity Security provides a fully integrated remediation solution.

Auto fill/Remember Me Login Identification
In SU3, the Scout collector added the feature to support auto fill or remember me logic for usernames and/or passwords. In this release, the collected authentication records will display a login event value of Auto fill on the login detail page if the user logged in using a saved username or password. If the user name and password are typed by the user, the value displayed will be Manual.

Scout Analytics has been updated with new logos, colors and branding.
