Program activity and detailed changes to files are tracked while VISIONsecurity software is running; including log-on, log-off and failed log-on; file signing and failed signing events and file creation or modification events
This comprehensive activity tracking and logging system assures you the ability to create detailed audit trails for your Thermo Scientific spectrophotometer, and the data it generates. Audit trails can be contained on a single workstation or run enterprise-wide by installing Thermo Scientific Security Administration as a server application.
