Trailbot Watcher ^{_{DEVELOPER PREVIEW}}

Trailbot tracks files and logs in your servers, triggers Smart Policies upon tampering and generates an immutable audit trail of everything happening to them.

Smart Policies are simple scripts that get called every time a tracked file changes. They trigger actions such as emailing someone, rolling files back or even shutting the system down. There are plenty of them ready to use, and you can even create your own.

Trailbot has three components:

• Watcher: (this repository) a server daemon that monitors your files and logs, registers file events and enforces smart policies.
• Client: desktop app for managing watchers, defining policies and reading file events.
• Vault: a backend that works as a relay for the watcher's settings and the server events.

Why Trailbot?

Current security solutions are based on an obsolete paradigm: building walls and fences. Companies advertise their overcomplicated perimeter security systems as if they were impenetrable. But even so, we hear everyday about cyber security breaches at even the largest corporations.

Moreover, they will not protect you at all from internal breaches and insider threats. Furthermore, most data resides nowadays in the cloud, where walls, border and fences fade and blur.

With Trailbot, you can rest assured of the integrity of your data, being it a system log or any other important file. It doesn't matter if an outsider got access to your systems or an insider decided to go rogue—you are now in control.
