Introducing Squadcast's Audit Logs: Enhanced Visibility and Control

Maintaining comprehensive records of user and entity-related changes within your Incident Management platform is crucial. Organizations have long relied on external analytics tools for these insights. However, the demand for an integrated solution within Squadcast has been growing. We are excited to introduce Squadcast's Audit Logs feature, designed to address this need directly within our platform.

What Are Audit Logs?

Audit logs, also known as audit trails, are records that chronologically document a sequence of activities or changes within a system. They capture detailed information such as the time of the event, the user involved, the action performed, and the outcome of the action. This feature facilitates:

• Security Monitoring: Detect unauthorized access or suspicious activities.
• Compliance: Ensure adherence to regulatory standards and internal policies.
• Forensic Analysis: Investigate security breaches or incidents.
• Accountability: Track user actions to ensure responsible use of resources.‍
• Troubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve system errors or issues.
