RDP Session Monitor Template

The RDP Session Monitor Template enables Network Administrators to monitor RDP sessions for in-activity as well as large downloads and uploads. This Template is typically used by Network Administrators that want more functionality than built-in Windows Session Time Limits, for example, to target specific RDP user sessions for in-activity and identify potential espionage attacks.
