Curtain LogTrace - File Activity Transparency at Your Fingertips!
- Log user activities on their PCs
- Centralize logs for internal audit purposes
- Trigger notifications for abnormal user behaviors
- Configure log events for different user groups
Curtain LogTrace provides administrators to log user file activities like creation, copying, moving, renaming, deletion, printing, and saving files within specific applications.
The Policy server maintains a central audit log that records users’ file activities. For events like file copying and moving, the log captures the destination type as well. This detail enables administrators to generate reports focusing on file copying to USB devices. Administrators can configure the logging of specific events for different user groups, customizing the audit log settings to record only the desired events for each user group. This ensures that the log provides relevant and targeted information based on the specific needs of different user groups.
Curtain LogTrace has Free version and Paid version. The paid version provides excellent basic functionality, able to record the majority of user file operations, such as printing documents and deleting files. The price of the paid version is also very reasonable, possibly only a tenth of a SIEM solution, but it can provide excellent logging, and the installation and maintenance are also very simple.

The file activity records were successfully obtained on the management side. As mentioned in the function introduction, we will evaluate whether the advanced functions need to be activated based on the situation.
We used Logtrace together with MonGuard to form a simple information security auxiliary tool. Logtrace did give us a record of file activity, and we found the report on the management side.
I am tired to use windows event log to keep track what users did to company's files. Logtrace is good enough to help us to fulfill compliance.
