Designed to stay untouched
A canary file has no ordinary business purpose, making interaction with it especially relevant.
High-sensitivity signal
Canary Files
A controlled decoy can reveal abnormal activity early.
Argus places and observes decoy files in selected locations so that unexpected access or modification becomes a strong security signal.

What it gives you
Operational detail without losing the bigger picture.
Each signal remains connected to the endpoint, company and time that give it meaning.
Placed with intent
Locations and scope are configured according to the endpoint and the data that require protection.
Connected to Sentinel
A canary event complements broader file activity and contributes context to the security assessment.
Visible to the team
Alerts and event history show where the signal originated and what followed.
How it works
A clear path from signal to outcome.

One signal, not the whole verdict
Canary Files improve sensitivity, while Process Activity Guard, Sentinel thresholds and the event timeline help establish the broader context.
