Computer security experts have often said that most security threats come from within organizations. It’s not hard to see why, especially when you view the current habits of cloud users. The most common being users not signing out of their accounts. If you have an employee who accesses their Gmail account from a public computer and forgets to log off, this could be a real problem. Luckily, there is a feature in Gmail that allows you to both track activity and remotely log off if need be.
The Activity Information feature of Gmail serves a dual purpose: To give you a way to monitor the locations your account has been signed into and the ability to remotely log off. You can access the feature by:
If you are on the Settings page, and can’t find Details, scroll to the bottom of the page and you should see it at the bottom right.
Keep tabs on log-in locations
When you click on Details a pop-up window will appear showing your account’s recent activity. Under theRecent Activity heading you will see a list of the 10 most recent ways your account has been accessed. This information is displayed in a table with three columns:
At the bottom of the window you can see the IP address you are currently using. Just above that, is Alert preference which you can change to meet your needs. We suggest you set an alert for any unusual activity.
Remote logout
If you forgot to sign out of your account from another computer, you can simply press the Sign out of all other sessions button. Pressing this will not log you out of your current session, so don’t forget to sign out when you are done!
