Key Features of EaseFilter File Security SDK

  • EaseFilter File Security SDK is a premier development utility designed for high performance file system filtering and advanced data protection.
  • It provides a comprehensive set of tools for building transparent file encryption, real time file monitoring, and granular access control into enterprise applications.
  • The SDK features specialized drivers for ransomware detection, digital rights management, and secure file collaboration to prevent unauthorized data access and internal leaks.
  • In 2026, it remains a vital tool for security engineers and software developers needing a safe and verified environment for creating robust cybersecurity solutions.
  • Its support for on the fly encryption and process based filtering ensures that sensitive information remains secure at rest and in transit across all modern Windows environments globally.

How to Implement File Security with EaseFilter SDK

The EaseFilter SDK allows developers to integrate kernel-level file monitoring and access control into their Windows applications. Follow these steps to initialize the driver and protect your data:

  1. Install and Initialize the Filter Driver
    Download the SDK setup and run it with Administrator privileges to install the filter driver. In your project, initialize the FilterControl object using your unique license key to communicate with the kernel-level components.
  2. Define Your Security Policies
    Create a FileFilter object and specify the target path (e.g., C:\Confidential\*). Use AccessFlags to set baseline permissions, such as allowing read access while denying write or delete operations for unauthorized users.
  3. Whitelist Trusted Processes
    To prevent your security policy from blocking legitimate work, add trusted applications (like winword.exe or backup.exe) to the ProcessNameAccessRightList. This ensures only specific software can modify protected files.
  4. Start Real-Time Monitoring
    Call the StartFilter() method to activate the policies. You can now subscribe to events like OnFileChanged or OnBeforeFileOpen to log file activities in real-time for audit trails or ransomware detection.
Pro Tip: Always test your filter rules in a staging environment first. Since the SDK operates at the kernel level, overly restrictive rules (like blocking all writes to C:\*) can prevent Windows from functioning correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Because the EaseFilter SDK installs and manages a Windows kernel-mode filter driver, the application hosting the SDK must be executed with administrative rights to interact with the file system at that level.

Absolutely. You can configure the SDK to monitor the frequency of file modifications and renames. If a process exceeds a certain threshold (typical of ransomware), you can programmatically kill the process or block its access immediately.

Minimal impact. The encryption occurs "on-the-fly" at the driver level using optimized algorithms. While there is a slight overhead for I/O operations, it is designed for enterprise-grade performance and is generally unnoticeable to the end-user.

If StartFilter() returns false, check the LastError property. Common issues include missing driver files in the application directory, attempting to run without Admin rights, or an expired evaluation license key.
