Measures reported by TotalUserCountTest

In highly secure environments, unauthorized user logins into the servers may pose a security risk. Therefore, administrators should keep track on the user logins to the servers and constantly monitor for any unauthorized user logins. To aid administrators in this exercise, eG Enterprise offers the TotalUserCountTest test.

Use this test to track user logins to the target Unix server and rapidly capture unauthorized users who have logged into the server.
