Unix

Standard

Unix allows you to monitor and identify threats in your organization using Unix data. Logpoint aggregates and normalizes the Unix logs so you can analyze the information through dashboards and security reports. Unix dashboards and reports provide visualization of event details for authentication requests, privilege escalation and user account management of the Unix environment detected in your network.
