Description: User session management is the process of managing a user’s interactions with a computer system, ensuring that access to resources and data is secure and controlled. This process involves user authentication, tracking their activity, and authorizing their actions within the system. Session management is crucial for preventing unauthorized access and maintaining information integrity. It includes the creation, maintenance, and termination of sessions, as well as the implementation of security policies that regulate inactivity time and session expiration. Additionally, it integrates with security technologies such as multi-factor authentication and security event monitoring, allowing for the detection and response to suspicious behaviors. In a Zero Trust security environment, session management becomes an essential component, as each session is evaluated independently, ensuring that only verified users have access to necessary resources. Automation in session management also plays an important role, enabling rapid responses to security incidents and facilitating real-time access policy management.
