SloopEngine SSH session

What is the purpose of the SloopEngine SSH session?

A SloopEngine SSH session is an effective way to establish secure remote access to a server or device using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. This protocol allows users to connect to the server or device remotely, execute commands, and perform other tasks with ease. SSH sessions also provide an added layer of security by encrypting all data transmitted over the connection, making them a valuable tool for handling sensitive or confidential information. In addition, SSH sessions offer a range of features that allow users to customize their remote access experience, including the ability to configure access controls, manage user permissions, and establish secure tunnels for data forwarding and port forwarding. Overall, SloopEngine SSH sessions are a reliable and secure way to manage remote systems and devices and are widely used in various industries such as finance, healthcare, and government.

Launch SloopEngine SSH session

To launch an SSH session, you are required to possess a SloopEngine permission that has been specifically generated for you by a manager. This SloopEngine permission serves as the gateway to accessing the essential credentials and nodes relevant to your work. With SloopEngine permission, you gain the ability to launch an SSH session to your servers and perform deployments and operations.

  1. Go to the SloopEngine account dashboard and navigate to the Workspaces listing view.
  2. Choose the specific SloopEngine workspace and navigate to the My Permissions listing view to launch a new SSH session.

Live stream SloopEngine SSH session for auditing

With SloopEngine's SSH Logging & Auditing feature, keeping an eye on your team's live SSH connections has never been easier! Not only can you live stream and monitor an ongoing SSH session, but you can also secretly audit your team member's live SSH session to ensure that they are not engaging in any malicious activity. Plus, this feature can come in handy during server downtimes and production outages, as you can use it to assist your team members remotely.

In the event of a security threat or data theft detected during live stream auditing of an SSH session, it is imperative to terminate the SSH session immediately without any delay. SloopEngine's SSH Logging & Auditing feature makes it easy to accomplish this with just one click, helping safeguard your organization against security breaches. Following this, it is important to revoke SSH access for the specific team member involved in such activity.
