Monitor Access, Usage, and Data Movement
Securing access is only half the battle - understanding how applications are used is equally critical. The Application Activity Report provides a granular, real-time audit trail of how users interact with your enterprise applications, including SaaS, web, and on-premise apps.
Unlike basic login logs, this report captures specific user actions such as logins, file downloads, uploads, and blocked attempts. By correlating these actions with device compliance status and access location, security teams can quickly identify high-risk behavior — for example, a user trying to download sensitive data from an unmanaged or non-compliant device.
Forensics & Auditing
Investigate security incidents by reviewing the exact event timestamp, user identity, IP address, device details, and access outcome.
Policy Validation
Verify that Zero Trust Access Policies are enforcing intended controls (for example, blocking file downloads on non-compliant devices). → Refer to Manage Zero Trust Access Policies
Operational Insights
Track application adoption and usage trends to optimize license allocation and operational planning.
To ensure application events appear in this report:
Applications must be configured under Manage Applications
Application event tracking must be enabled for the application → Enable application event tracking
Users must be onboarded using Standard Onboarding or Pre-Provisioned Onboarding
Note: If event tracking is not enabled for an application, only limited access events may be visible.
1. Go to Reports >Application Activity. The Application Activity opens with summary metrics and a detailed event table.
2. Use filters and column controls to narrow results by user, application, event type, or time range when investigating specific access behavior. Click on View Event Detail eye icon button to get application event details.
Note: Use the filter dropdown to view data for the last 24 hours, weekly, or monthly periods. Zaperon retains device compliance data for up to 6 months.
3. Event details helps administrators quickly understand who performed the action, from which device, and with what outcome.
This information is useful for incident response, audits, and policy validation.
Download application activity logs for audits, compliance reviews, or offline analysis. Use Export CSV on the Application Activity page to select a time range and export the report.
Exported data can be used for compliance audits or SIEM integrations. → Refer to Exporting a Report.
The Application Activity Report enables security and IT teams to investigate access events, validate Zero Trust controls, and maintain audit readiness using detailed application activity data.
