filesystem auditing

Filesystem auditing is a security process that tracks and records activities related to files and folders on a computer or server. It logs actions like creating, opening, modifying, or deleting files, helping organizations monitor access and changes. This helps ensure data integrity, detect unauthorized activity, and maintain accountability. Think of it like a security camera for your digital storage—keeping a detailed record of who did what and when, which is crucial for security, compliance, and troubleshooting.
