Privileged Session Monitoring and Recording

Visibility and Governance for Modern Access Workflows

Visibility Gaps Create Compliance Risk and Investigation Blind Spots

Most organizations can tell you who requested access. Far fewer can tell you what that identity did with it. Without session-level visibility, audit evidence is incomplete, investigations rely on guesswork, and regulatory requirements go unmet. Britive closes that gap for the access that carries the most risk.

  • Regulatory Compliance — PCI DSS, HIPAA, NIST, and SOX call for detailed logging of privileged access. Just-in-time access shows when access was granted. Auditors also want to see what happened during the session.
  • Visibility Gaps in Cloud and On-Prem — Access logs show that a session started. They don't show what the identity did once it was in.
  • Threat Detection and Investigation — Unusual commands, unexpected data access, and lateral movement can only be caught while the session is being watched.
  • Post-Incident Forensics — Recordings give responders the exact sequence of actions, instead of a timeline rebuilt from system logs.

Monitoring and Recording for Every Privileged Session

Britive Bridge is a self-hosted proxy that sits between your users and the systems they reach: servers, databases, Kubernetes clusters, network devices, and internal web applications. Bridge connects to the target with credentials the user never sees, records the session, and lets authorized reviewers watch it live. Because Britive grants the access just in time, every recorded session is already scoped to a task, limited in time, and tied to a named identity.

Your Tools or Your Browser

Engineers connect with the tools they already use, like SSH clients, database command lines, and Remote Desktop, or open a terminal, desktop, or query console in the browser. Either way, Bridge connects to the target with credentials the user never sees, and the access ends when the checkout window closes.

Recording That Fits the Session

Bridge records each session in the format that suits it: terminal output and a command log for shells, video for desktops, a query log for databases, and a request log for web traffic. Recording is on by default, policy decides which sessions are recorded, and secrets are masked before anything is stored.

Live Monitoring and Instant Termination

Authorized reviewers can watch any session as it happens, share a view-only link with an auditor, lock the session, or disconnect it immediately, without waiting for the checkout window to expire.

Command Blocking Before the Resource 

Policy can stop a disallowed command, such as a DELETE from a read-only identity, on the connection path before it reaches the database.

What Britive's Privileged Session Monitoring & Recording Means in Practice

Coverage Across Your Infrastructure, Without Shared Credentials

Bridge supports SSH, RDP, VNC, Telnet, WinRM, Kubernetes exec, network devices, internal web applications, and databases including PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, MongoDB Atlas, Redshift, and Cassandra. Because Britive grants the access, every session is tied to a named identity before recording begins, with no shared accounts in the audit trail. 

Audit Evidence That's Always Current

Every command, query, request, and file transfer is indexed and searchable, with a link to the exact moment in the recording. Events stream to your SIEM, so evidence for PCI DSS, HIPAA, NIST, and SOX audits is collected as the work happens, not assembled under a deadline. Sessions from AI agents connecting through an MCP server are recorded the same way as sessions from people.

Deploy Where Your Systems Are

Bridge is self-hosted. Start with a single container for a trial, then scale to a cluster on AWS ECS Fargate or any Kubernetes platform, with automatic failover. Route only the sessions that need recording and command control through Bridge.
