Abstract
Embodiments are directed to monitoring local users' activity without installing an agent on a monitored machine. Periodic scans of the local users' directory using the standard protocol messages and APIs of a remote admin interface provide access to local machine data. Using the remote admin interface, defenders gain visibility to local users' logons, group membership, password changes, and other parameters. Security applications enabled by this visibility include, but are not limited to, abnormal logons detection, abnormal group addition and removal detection, and abnormal password changes detection.
