How Organizations Use Upwind’s File-Based Threat Monitoring

How Organizations Use Upwind’s File-Based Threat Monitoring

Upwind’s threat detection capabilities give you real-time protection against cloud attacks, including malicious file activities. Upwind’s lightweight, high-performance eBPF sensor goes beyond monitoring file activities to enrich that data with information about an event’s context and provide insights into the actions taken on the file, including read, write, and truncate (delete). 

You can leverage this information to identify suspicious file-based activities such as unauthorized access to sensitive files and evidence tampering. This empowers you to rapidly detect file-based threats, recognize malicious patterns of file activity and proactively safeguard against file-based risks.

“The amount of file-based attacks on major organizations in recent years is alarming to any security team. Upwind’s proactive threat detection and ability to identify malicious file-based activities has given our team peace of mind and has been instrumental in our ability to protect against file-based attacks.”

Horacio Granillo, SRE & DevOps Manager, TTMzero
