# 3.8.4 Brute-Force Authentication Report

### **Reports Module Overview**

The **Reports** module in the ZTrust Admin Console provides detailed insights into user activities, session invalidations, and brute-force authentication attempts within the system.\
This helps administrators **monitor**, **analyze**, and **manage** security-related events efficiently.

1. **Brute-Force Authentication Report:**

This section helps administrators **identify and investigate failed login attempts** and possible brute-force attacks.

The captured information includes:

* **Username** → The user whose account faced failed attempts.
* **User ID** → The unique identifier of the user.
* **Time** → When the failed attempt occurred.
* **Failed Attempts** → The total number of failed login attempts.
* **Action Taken** → The system’s response (e.g., Account Locked, Temporary Block).
* **IP Address** → The source IP of the failed attempt.
* **Geo-Location** → The geographical origin of the attempt.

This report helps admins **detect suspicious activity** and **take preventive measures** to secure accounts from unauthorized access.
