Workstation Sessions Protection
Always-On Protection for Every Workstation
Workstations are the front line of security. Whether in a control room, a corporate office, a hospital nursing station, or a university computer lab, unlocked sessions represent one of the most common and preventable security gaps. Lockfy Enterprise provides continuous session protection that ensures workstations remain secure without disrupting productivity.
How It Works
Lockfy monitors workstation sessions in real time, applying policy-driven controls that automatically protect endpoints based on user behavior, idle time, and organizational security requirements.
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Console & RDP Sessions | Protects both users at the keyboard and Remote Desktop (RDP) sessions on workstations and servers |
| Real-Time Session Monitoring | Continuously tracks session state—active, idle, locked, or unlocked—across all managed workstations |
| Idle Detection | Automatically detects when a workstation becomes idle and applies configured lock policies based on duration |
| Policy-Driven Auto-Lock | Assign lock policies to workstations, with a default idle timeout and per-application rules |
| Unlock Alerts | Sends an immediate push notification to the user when their workstation is unlocked |
| Session Audit Trail | Records complete session history including start time, lock time, lock duration, idle start, idle end, and session end |
| Lock-Preventing Apps Control | Detects applications that keep a workstation from locking (media players, presentations, SCADA consoles) and lets you decide which ones may delay a lock |
| Locks by Lockfy | Records every lock Lockfy enforced, so you can measure how often your idle policy would otherwise have failed |
| Override Governance | Allows time-limited overrides where operationally necessary, with every override logged and audited |
Session Activity Data
Lockfy captures comprehensive session data that provides complete visibility into how workstations are being used and protected:
| Data Point | Description |
|---|---|
| Session Start Time | When the user logged into the workstation |
| Lock Time | When the session was locked (manually or automatically) |
| Lock Duration | How long the session remained locked |
| Idle Start | When user inactivity was detected |
| Idle End | When user activity resumed |
| Session End | When the user logged out or the session terminated |
