Curtain Report*

Introducing Curtain Report, an advanced analytics and reporting module designed to transform Curtain LogTrace file activity logs into actionable insights. This feature will provide businesses with meaningful statistics that highlight the top 5 most accessed files, identify the most active users, and track the count of file access like delete/ rename/ move/ denials etc. Powerful, advanced log searching capabilities will enable quick filtering and pinpointing of specific events, streamlining investigations and audits. Curtain Report will empower teams to gain deeper visibility, improve decision-making, and enhance overall operational oversight.

This feature will enable organizations to track file activities—such as uploads, downloads, edits, and deletions—that occur within designated Cloud Storage Services. By consolidating file activity logs of both locals and cloud storage services, this enhancement will offer greater transparency into data movement, helping to mitigate risks associated with shadow IT, data leakage, and compliance gaps.

*This feature will be on upcoming paid version only.

Customised Monitoring Paths and Alert Setting*

Additionally, administrators will be able to specify critical paths—such as Finance, HR, or new Projects—for focused monitoring. Custom alert criteria can be configured to flag activities like bulk downloads, access outside of business hours, or deletion of sensitive documents. When such events occur, Curtain Report will automatically generate alerts and send detailed notifications to designated recipients, such as security teams, compliance officers, or department heads, ensuring timely awareness and response.

*This feature will be on upcoming paid version only.
