Concurrent Session Usage
Refers to multiple active sessions under a single user account, either legitimately (shared services) or maliciously (account takeover). Managed via session limits, device tracking, and real-time monitoring to balance convenience and security.
Example: A hacker uses your stolen password to log in while you’re still online—now there are two “you”s until one gets kicked.
