MONITOR SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY WITH CURL LANGUAGE

Monitor suspicious activity in your cURL application

When developing a Curl application, whether it's intended for public release or private use, security is a top priority for developers. Ensuring the application's security and preventing misuse is crucial.

Misuse of the application can take various forms, including unauthorized data access or improper user actions, posing significant risks such as data loss, corruption, or even theft.

Therefore, it's imperative to establish a robust monitoring system within your Curl application to detect and address suspicious activities effectively. This monitoring system should keep you and your team informed of any anomalies.

For instance, consider a scenario where you're creating a Curl application that enables users to upload files. Such applications often face concerns about users attempting to abuse the service by uploading prohibited content, excessively large files, or even malware.

Palzin Track proves to be an invaluable tool in this context, simplifying event tracking and suspicious activity monitoring in your Curl application. With Palzin Track, you can effortlessly track events, like user file uploads, and configure rules to notify you when a user attempts to upload a file exceeding 100MB. This way, you stay alerted when a user tries to upload an oversized file, allowing you to take necessary actions promptly.
