How Data Teams Integrate Akamai Linode and Files.com 

Organizations across industries are turning to Akamai Linode for scalable, cost-effective, and S3-compatible platform. While Linode offers powerful storage infrastructure, enterprises often need more advanced controls, automation, and integrations for daily operations and compliance workflows—that’s where Files.com comes in. 

By integrating with Files.com, businesses can unlock secure file transfer protocols, enforce granular access permissions, automate data workflows, and collaborate more efficiently—bringing enterprise-level governance and flexibility to their object storage environments.

This powerful integration enables a wide variety of use cases across teams & industries such as: 

A financial institution uses AI/ML to power fraud detection, credit risk analysis, and trading algorithms. Their data science team stores massive volumes of transactional logs, behavioral analytics, and third-party data feeds in Akamai Linode Object Storage. 

These sensitive datasets need to be ingested securely, processed efficiently, and protected to meet strict compliance standards. Adding Files.com, finance teams can now enable secure transfers of sensitive financial data via SFTP, FTPS, or AS2, launch automated workflows to normalize or validate data upon upload and collect external datasets from partners or vendors using Inboxes with no login required.

A healthcare organization archives patient records, lab reports, and imaging data in Linode Object Storage for long-term retention. Data access is tightly controlled and must meet HIPAA and other compliance standards. 

With Files.com integrated into Akamai Linode storage, you can bring enterprise-grade security and control to sensitive data and archived records. Apply GPG Encryption to enforce a zero-trust security model, ensuring only your private key can decrypt stored files. 

Manage user access through SAML, LDAP, or Active Directory Integrations, and automate retention policies and storage lifecycle transitions with scheduled workflows. 

A video production house uses Akamai Linode Object Storage to hold large raw video files, project archives, and final deliverables. Teams across time zones need access to edit, upload, and distribute content securely and quickly. 

With Files.com, teams can use Share Links to deliver final assets to clients with custom expiration dates and access limits. Utilize project archiving and transfer to cold storage using scheduled workflows and receive real-time Slack alerts when key files are uploaded or downloaded.

Remote Server Mount and Sync provides the ability to push or pull files to or from remote servers, giving full access to the files you have on AS2, making leveraging AS2 services and your workload more manageable while continuing to take advantage of the security features and permissions built into your Files.com site.

Amazon SNS allows users to push messages to Windows, Google, Apple and certain internet-connected smart devices by using an application programming interface (API) or the AWS Management Console. Once a message is published to the service, it can be sent multiple times to different recipients. Service users also have the flexibility to send direct messages to several devices or to one subscriber by using a sole publish request.

By integrating Files.com with Amazon Simple Notification Service you can turn every file transfer event (uploads, downloads, syncs, and more) into a trigger for real-time notifications, automated processes, and enriched security monitoring. 

This powerful pairing gives your team instant visibility into critical file actions, while enabling serverless workflows and direct integration with AWS services and SIEM tools. It’s automation, alerts, and auditing, exactly when and where you need it.

Real-Time File Event Notifications Across Distributed Teams

Typical events include file uploads, downloads, shares, deletions, renames, and permission changes. You can also track access attempts, tag or metadata updates, folder modifications, and automated sync completions. These events are highly customizable and can be filtered to only notify on specific activity—such as when a file tagged confidential is downloaded or when a folder receives a new invoice file. 

Enhanced Security with File-Level Intelligence

Files.com enhances Amazon SNS by delivering granular, security-relevant file event data that helps you detect threats faster and respond more intelligently.

Here’s how Files.com strengthens your security posture:

Real-Time Threat Awareness: Get alerted the moment a suspicious file action occurs, such as an off-hours download, an unauthorized access attempt, or an unusually large file transfer.

Regulatory Compliance Support: Maintain comprehensive audit trails that align with industry and regulatory frameworks like HIPAA, SOC 2, GDPR, and more.

Smart Event Filtering: Route only high-value or risk-relevant events into SNS for analysis, keeping your SIEM lean and focused on anomalies.

Granular Access Logging: Capture who accessed what file, when, how, and from where, across all protocols.

Enterprise Use Case: Trigger Serverless Workflows on File Arrival

When a file lands in Files.com, that moment can kick off an entire automation chain using Amazon SNS and AWS serverless services. By publishing file arrival events to an SNS topic, you can immediately trigger AWS Lambda functions, Step Functions, or other downstream actions—without any manual intervention or polling logic.

While triggering serverless workflows on file arrival is possible with other platforms, Files.com takes this use case further. It offers a more seamless, secure, and flexible approach that’s purpose-built for enterprise automation. With native event triggers across all protocols, direct Amazon SNS integration, and advanced filtering options, 

Files.com makes it dramatically easier to build reliable, event-driven workflows that scale, with:
