Connect for Organisations: improved audit log for better security

Raspberry Pi Connect enables you to remotely access your Raspberry Pi devices via screen sharing and remote shell from anywhere. It’s a powerful tool, and being able to review when a device has been accessed via Connect, and by whom, is a critical part of keeping your organisation secure.

As well as granting access to your devices to an unlimited number of authorised users, Connect for Organisations now features an improved audit log to make it easy for administrators to review activity from the past 90 days. With the most recent events first, you can see every screen sharing and remote shell session, the creation of access tokens, the addition and removal of devices, and any changes to users and their roles.

New features

• Country tracking: see where events took place and spot suspicious activity
• Download CSV: download detailed logs for auditing and security reviews
• Filtering: focus on the specific actions important to you

We now geolocate every event by IP address, storing only the country code in order to preserve privacy. This information is included in both the web interface and in the newly added CSV export option to help you easily spot access from an unexpected country.

Administrators can now download a CSV file of the entire audit log for a more detailed analysis in their preferred spreadsheet software. We’ll also prompt you to download the log if you decide to delete your organisation, so you can keep the logs for posterity.

Even without exporting, we now offer the ability to filter the audit log by action, so you can focus on one or more specific actions such as “Screen sharing session started” and “Invite accepted”.

Together, these new features can aid administrators in a security investigation if a team member reports unusual activity. For example, you could:

1. Filter the audit log to see only the relevant actions
2. Check whether any of the events originated from an unexpected country
3. Export a detailed timeline for your security team

These improved audit log features are available immediately for existing Connect for Organisations users. New to Connect for Organisations?
