Amazon FSx for Windows File Server is a fully managed file storage service built on Windows Server. Migrating to this service enables organizations to reduce operational overhead and take advantage of cloud flexibility and scalability, while maintaining visibility into file access activity, which is crucial for security and compliance requirements in sectors like financial services and healthcare. AWS recently added file access auditing to the Amazon FSx service, publishing and storing audit event logs that summarize user-level file system access activity at a file share level. Datadog can be used as an endpoint to send these logs for retention and real-time analysis, allowing teams to monitor access activity, create security rules to alert them to possible threats, analyze and monitor Amazon FSx audit event logs, automatically detect security threats to their FSx file system, and get deeper insight into their file systems.
