1.0 Introduction
BalaBit® Shell Control Box (or SCB) is an activity monitoring solution that you can install within your
Information System platform that provides activities and trails
—in real or delayed time—on who did what,
where, when and how.
With SCB, you can control the access of internal or external IT service providers and record service provider
work sessions and review them as needed (audit sessions, incidents, etc.).
The HID Global solutions that work with SCB provide versatile, flexible, strong authentication that is scalable
and simple to manage.
There are two main HID Global solutions:

AAA Server for Remote Access — an authentication server that addresses the security risks
associated with a mobile workforce remotely accessing systems and data.

ActivID Appliance — an authentication server that offers support for multiple authentication
methods that are useful for diverse audiences across a variety of service channels (SAML,
RADIUS, etc.), including user name and password, mobile and PC soft tokens, one-time
passwords, and transparent Web soft tokens.
