Someone accessed the SCADA server last night. What did they do? Traditional logs show a connection was made, but nothing about what happened during the session.
THE CHALLENGE
You Can’t Secure What You Can’t See
The Visibility Gap in OT
HOW IT WORKS
Complete Visibility in Four Layers
WALLIX captures every privileged session at multiple levels – from connection metadata to keystroke-level detail. Real-time monitoring lets you watch sessions as they happen, while recordings provide evidence for later investigation.

What Changes
A direct comparison of visibility before and after WALLIX implementation.
| YOUR RISK FACTORS | WITHOUT WALLIX | WITH WALLIX |
|---|---|---|
| Session Evidence | ❌ Login/logout timestamps only | ✅ Full video-style recording |
| Investigation Speed | ❌ Hours correlating logs | ✅ Minutes to find relevant session |
| Command Visibility | ❌ Depends on system logging | ✅ Every keystroke captured |
| Real-Time Awareness | ❌ After-the-fact discovery | ✅ Live session monitoring |
| Audit Readiness | ❌ Manual evidence gathering | ✅ Reports on-demand |
| Graphical Sessions | ❌ No visibility into GUI actions | ✅ Full visual capture with OCR |
CAPABILITIES
What Gets Captured
Comprehensive session data for every type of privileged access.
Video Recording
Graphical sessions recorded as video with configurable quality and compression. Playback with timeline navigation, speed control, and frame export.
Keystroke Logging
Every keystroke captured for text sessions. Searchable command history with timestamps. Identify exactly what was typed and when.
OCR Text Extraction
Optical character recognition extracts text from graphical sessions. Search for text that appeared on screen, even in images or applications.
Tamper-Proof Storage
Recordings cryptographically signed and stored securely. Evidence integrity maintained for legal and compliance requirements.
FAQ
Common Questions
How much storage do session recordings require?
Text sessions are very compact – typically kilobytes per session. Graphical sessions use more storage but WALLIX applies intelligent compression. Typical: 50-200 MB per hour of active graphical session.
Does recording add latency to sessions?
No perceptible latency. Recording happens at the gateway level without intercepting the session stream.
Can we search across all recordings for specific activities?
Yes. WALLIX indexes session metadata including executed commands, window titles, and OCR-extracted text.
How long should we retain session recordings?
Retention requirements vary by framework. WALLIX supports configurable retention policies with automatic archival.
Can recordings be used as legal evidence?
WALLIX recordings are designed for evidentiary use. Cryptographic signing ensures integrity. Chain of custody is maintained.
