Abstract
A method and system are disclosed for coordinated file system security via rules. A file system condition rule can specify any of a wide variety of file system conditions related to security risks, such as sensitive information in impermissible locations, impermissible file permissions, stray files, and the like. The rules can be administered at a central location and distributed across machines. The machines can then execute the rules against their local file systems. The rules can further specify actions to be taken, including deleting files, sanitizing files, sending an alert, or the like. Violations can be tracked and analyzed to determine what is causing recurring scenarios. A web service can expose the technologies to cloud service consumers.
