Enhancing data security with FIM (file integrity monitoring) πŸ”

Step-by-step guide on how to leverage Watchdog for compliance and risk mitigation on a platform-as-a-service (PaaS)

Looking to protect sensitive files in real-time? Learn how to implement File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) on a PaaS using Python’s Watchdog library.

In our latest step-by-step guide, you'll set up a custom notification system that tracks file changes and sends alerts whenever sensitive data is modified.

What you’ll learn:

  • Installing Watchdog and setting up a Python container
  • Monitoring file changes and triggering alerts with JSON
  • Testing your system with runtime operations
  • Improving your FIM with event filtering and backup details

πŸ” Level up your file security game by leveraging Watchdog for compliance and risk mitigation.
