File Activity Monitoring (FAM)

File Activity Monitoring (FAM) catalogs, monitors, and secures unstructured data (files). It provides insights into data location, ownership, access history, permissions, protection, sharing, and sensitivity, enabling informed decisions about data protection.

A FAM Destination is where audit logs are sent. This can be a single Data Security Fabric (DSF) gateway (IP or hostname) or a group of DSF gateways (hostname suffix), such as dsf-gateways.dsf.abcyz.com. When using a group, each client sends logs to a unique hostname combining a client identifier and the FQDN suffix (for example, clientid.dsf-gateways.dsf.abcyz.com).
