File System Monitoring for Windows - Secure Drive

Every organization's asset is its data and data are stored in files which are maintained by file systems. Therefore, it is an important role of an organisation to keep its File System secure. There is huge amount of changes that are made on daily basis in these files by different users. Hidden among these changes can be the few that are illegitimate and can cause harm to organisation. So, File System Monitoring becomes necessary. While many such monitoring tools are available for UNIX systems [1], very little is done for Windows system. We have developed a File System Monitoring application for Windows operating system which monitors all Program Files of type document and sheets under directory selected by administrator. While there were many options available for implementing such an application, the most appropriate way of doing so is by exploiting native compatibility of C#.
