Monitor event history for a specific device to verify changes and identify anomalies

The tab provides a list of events over a user-defined time period. The type of events showcased include location updated events (e.g., change in device location), user updated events (e.g., user sign ins and sign outs), system updated events (e.g., public IP address change), rule triggered events (e.g., offline freeze execution), and action events (e.g., running of a PowerShell script). The new History tab under Device Details is available across all Absolute Secure Endpoint product tiers.
