Secure Session Management for Shared, Kiosk, and VDI Workstations
Protect user sessions, preserve machine performance, and enforce identity accountability — all without slowing down productivity.
The Problem
In shared, high-turnover, and regulated environments, unmanaged sessions introduce serious risks. Idle sessions left open drain system resources and leave sensitive information exposed. Users frequently forget to log out, leading to overlapping or ghost sessions. This creates a lack of clear accountability, especially on shared machines like kiosks or control room terminals. Without detailed session tracking, administrators struggle to know who accessed what, when — making compliance reporting more difficult.
The Solution
Credenti’s Session Management enforces identity-bound access across shared, kiosk, and VDI machines. Idle sessions are secured or terminated automatically based on admin-defined timeouts. Users are allowed only one active session, and tapping in on a new device ends the previous session. Shared machines can host multiple users safely, with strict session isolation. VDI users benefit from session resumption for uninterrupted workflows. All session activity is logged in real time to support audits and compliance.
Where It Matters
Shift-Based Teams
Ensure accountability and resource efficiency across rotating staff. Automatically log out idle users and prevent session overlap to keep shifts running smoothly and securely.
Regulated Industries
Meet HIPAA, CJIS, and PCI requirements with enforceable session policies. Capture detailed audit logs and session histories to satisfy audit and compliance demands.
Shared Workstations
Eliminate ghost sessions and make devices reliably available for the next user. Ensure every session is user-bound, isolated, and properly closed when idle.
Clustered Terminals
Control session switching in control rooms, trading floors, or dispatch centers. Maintain a clear chain of identity and session control across multi-terminal setups.
The Credenti Differentiator
Offline-Aware Controls
Even if the device is disconnected, session timeout and enforcement continues. This ensures consistent security posture in offline or intermittently connected environments.
Built-in VDI Awareness
Optimized session enforcement for Citrix, VMware Horizon, and other virtual desktop environments. Ensure session security in hybrid and remote virtual desktop deployments.
Session Integrity at Scale
Enforce policy across thousands of machines without additional infrastructure. Policies are centrally managed and automatically pushed to all endpoints.
Real-Time Audit Logging
Log all session events, including unlocks, timeouts, transfers, and terminations for compliance reporting. Easily integrate logs with your SIEM for centralized visibility.
