What happens to the logs generated in the PSMP flow after the session is recorded?

The logs generated in the Privileged Session Manager Proxy (PSMP) flow are essential for security auditing and compliance purposes. After a session is recorded, these logs are typically forwarded to a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system or a Syslog server. This process allows for centralized log management, enabling security teams to analyze and monitor privileged access activities effectively.

By integrating with SIEM solutions, organizations can correlate the session logs with other security events, enhancing their ability to detect anomalies or potential security breaches. This practice aligns with best practices in cybersecurity, ensuring that critical session data is retained and accessible for future audits and investigations.

Other methods of handling logs, such as deleting them after review or storing them on local drives, may compromise security or compliance requirements. Sending logs to a user's email does not provide the necessary oversight or centralized control that SIEM systems offer. Therefore, forwarding logs to SIEM/Syslog is the most effective and secure method of handling session records generated during the PSMP flow.
