The recent classified data disclosures found on WikiLeaks have raised strong concerns about mitigating insider threats in military and governmental Information Systems.
The soon to come disclosure of confidential records from private enterprises should also draw attention from every IT Security professional.
Julian Assange revealed in an interview with Andy Greenberg of Forbes that WikiLeaks is about to release confidential information from a major US bank, as well as from pharmaceutical, financial and energy companies.
The way this information has been obtained underscores the problems surrounding access controls and malicious insiders. Beyond the WikiLeaks buzz, insider threat is continually occurring and will undeniably remain a significant issue.
At IS Decisions, we have been taking this fact into account for 10 years and we developed 2 software solutions, UserLock and FileAudit, whose main goal is to protect Microsoft Windows networks from careless or fraudulent users, thus efficiently minimizing insider threat.
UserLock (awarded “Best of the Year 2010” by PC Mag) secures access to Windows networks and mitigates vulnerability by:
- restricting simultaneous sessions
- limiting user access to the network
- providing administrators with remote session control, alert options and advanced reporting for session analysis.
UserLock significantly reinforces Windows infrastructures security by giving network administrators the ability to:
- implement and enforce efficient restriction and access policies for Windows networks (LAN and WAN)
- be alerted when specific events occur (accepted logins, denied logins…) by user or user group
- remotely log off or lock a user session
- monitor in real time all connections on the network
- automatically log activity and generate comprehensive session reports and statistics
FileAudit (whose “simplicity and effectiveness” have been underlined in a review published on TechRepublic) monitors, archives and reports on access (or access attempts) to sensitive files and folders stored on Microsoft Windows systems.
FileAudit instantly gives a comprehensive list of:
- read/write accesses
- file ownership changes (accepted or denied)
- permission modifications (accepted or denied)
Each record details:
- the user
- the domain
- the date and time of connection and disconnection
for:
- a file
- a selection of files
- a folder and subfolder
- a selection of folders and subfolders

UserLock, our software solution that secures access to Microsoft Windows networks, has just been awarded “Best of the Year 2010” (Networking Software Category) by PC Mag.
For nearly 30 years, the PC Mag Award program has been one of the most stringent review programs in the IT industry as only 5% of products reviewed receive this Award and that make us really proud.
Having a trusted industry resource, like PC Magazine, give UserLock top honors indeed provides a level of confidence that IT pros can trust when considering their security software purchase.
This is a great reward for the hard work performed by IS Decisions’ Development Team and validates that our product strategy is right on track to keep us positioned as innovation leaders in the Microsoft Windows security software market.
According to Samara Lynn, the Network Analyst who performed UserLock review in PC Mag, UserLock “is an impressive product” and “is a solid tool that any Windows Network Administrator should consider adding to their network management toolkit if tight user access control is mandatory for their organization”.
UserLock indeed secures access to Windows networks and mitigates vulnerability by:
- restricting simultaneous sessions
- limiting user access to the network
- providing administrators with remote session control, alert options and advanced reporting for session analysis.
More than 800,000 UserLock licenses are already in use by worldwide security-demanding organizations including:
BAE Systems, Banco de Costa Rica, Banco Santander, Barclays Bank, BMW, Computer Sciences Corporation, Frito-Lay, Lockheed Martin, Mitsubishi, National Bank of Kuwait, South Wales Police, Telcel, Texas A&M University, United Nations Organization, University of Cambridge, University of Pennsylvania, US Department of Justice, US Department of Veterans Affairs, US Navy Marine Corps, TimeWarner, …

This article, written by our CEO François Amigorena, has been published on Network World on November 15th, 2010.
Microsoft Windows has more security features than any other operating system but is strangely lacking the fundamental and classic login session controls found in other environments, like mainframe and midrange systems, UNIX and Netware.
As an example, there is no way in Windows to limit a given user account from only logging on at one computer at a time.
In terms of interactive logins at desktops and laptops, a system administrator cannot therefore prevent a given user from going up to one computer, logging on there, letting somebody work as him or just leaving the computer unattended, and then walking up to another computer and logging on there.
And this is certainly one of the most underestimated flaws in a Windows network.
Why is preventing (or limiting) concurrent logins to a Windows network really important?
When you think about it, as human beings still don’t have the gift of ubiquity, there are very few legitimate reasons for a user to be connected to a network from several different workstations.
In the best case scenario, the user is just careless and forgot to close his session before opening a new one from another computer, however if it is not the same user but two (or more) different persons concurrently using the same credentials, no need to be a rocket scientist to imagine that at least one of them may have harmful intentions …
Here are a few examples of potentially dangerous situations made possible by the absence of simultaneous logins control:
- it increases the ability of users to share their credentials, as there is no consequence on their own access to the network.
This of course creates a whole accountability and non-repudiation issue as user A, connected to the network with the credentials of user B, can access user B’s data and applications, send Emails in his name, etc.
- it widens the attack surface of a network as a hacker can seamlessly use valid credentials at the same time as their legitimate owner (and make legitimate user accountable for any illegitimate action he takes).
- in the case of educational organizations that manage a network of free access computers for their students, it means that several workstations can unduly be blocked by one user, thus preventing proper sharing of resources. Or even worse, students can disclose their credentials to unauthorized third parties.
- it can very easily corrupt roaming profiles and create versioning conflicts for offline files.
As you can see, not controlling concurrent logins does significantly increase the network vulnerability.
That is why preventing or limiting simultaneous logins is required for an Information System to comply with major regulatory constraints, including for example NISPOM (National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual – 8-303, 8-602 and 8-609 sections) and ICD 503 (Intelligence Community Directive number 503 – “Identification and Authentication” and “Enforcement of sessions controls” sections).
Microsoft is perfectly aware of the issue and has relied on external, third-party software solutions to provide control over concurrent logins to a Windows network.

Comprehensive list of new features in RemoteExec 5.0 beta
“
The more times a user is logged in to the network, the harder it is to determine if that user is really the person who logged in.
Limiting the number of concurrent connections to two or even one makes tracking users’ network access easier and provides an additional level of security by reducing the number of Iogged in but unattended workstations.
Administrator accounts, in particular, should have limited concurrent connections. If an administrator should receive a denied login due to a current connections limit he would immediately know that his account had been compromised, or that another login had been inadvertently left active.
” —Protecting Your Network Against Known Security Threats (Novell Research)
Prevent/limit concurrent logins to your Windows network using UserLock
According to several recent studies, the most costly or damaging attacks against information systems are more often caused by insiders (employees or contractors with authorized access).
Taking this fact into account, we developed an enterprise software solution named UserLock, whose main goal is to protect Windows networks from careless and/or fraudulent users, thus efficiently mitigating insider threat.
UserLock allows IT security teams to:
- prevent or limit simultaneous logon (same ID, same password), per user or user group
- record all session logging and locking events in an ODBC database (Access, SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL,…) for future reference
- monitor user sessions in realtime (who is connected, from which workstation(s), for how long…)
- remotely lock, logoff and reset all interactive sessions
- define working hours and/or maximum session time for protected users and disconnect users with prior warning outside of the defined timeframe(s) and/or when time is up
- restrict user group’s network access per workstation or IP range
- notify all users prior to gaining access to a system with a tailor-made warning message (legal disclaimer, etc.)
- …
More than 750,000 UserLock licenses are already in use by worldwide security-demanding organizations including:
BAE Systems, Banco de Costa Rica, Barclays Bank, BMW, Computer Sciences Corporation, Frito-Lay, Lockheed Martin, Mitsubishi, National Bank of Kuwait, South Wales Police, Telcel, United Nations Organization, US Department of Justice, US Department of Veterans Affairs, US Navy Marine Corps, TimeWarner, …
You will find information about UserLock on our website and this whitepaper will provide you with further details about holes in Windows native login controls and how UserLock fills them in and helps organizations to comply with major regulatory constraints (HIPAA, SOX, PCI, NISPOM, DCID 6/3 - ICD 503, GLBA, US Patriot Act, FISMA…).
