Alert lists
VeraLab maintains 'Alert Lists' allowing lab employees to keep track of known
violators. Once a violator is identified, she/he can be added to the 'Alert List'.
The system will alert the lab assistant when she/he tries to sign in a user from
the Alert List to a workstation. Several alert levels can be associated with the
Alert List entry to allow establishment of a clear policy on handling various kinds
of violations.

Surveillance
In case of suspicious activity, a trusted VeraLab administrator can remotely
download the list of applications currently run by a user or even take a snapshot
of a users screen. This can be used later as evidence.

If a user runs an unauthorized application, lab assistants can shut the application
down remotely from the Lab Assistant Dashboard.
Software Metering
VeraLab can prevent users from launching unwanted software. A relatively small
number of commonly used chat clients, file sharing applications, and games
cause a major waste of computer time. Such applications can be added to the
'Restricted Applications List', and in a few seconds after they are launched,
VeraLab Guard will automatically shut them down.
