ANNOUNCING CRONGUARD: BACKUP, RESTORE YOUR SERVER CRONTABS AND MONITOR THEM FOR
SIGNS OF INTRUSION.

September 13, 2024

Cronguard allows you to setup backups for every user crontab on your server,
snapshot them as they are modified, restore them remotely, and monitor both your
crontabs and the scripts they call for signs of intrusion.

We're pleased to announce Cronguard which adds an additional layer of backup and
protection to your crontabs.

One of the biggest unmet needs we see in the managed cron niche is a desire to
be able to restore crontabs that have been accidentally deleted, or be able to
compare or roll-back to earlier versions.

Until now, there were no easy ways to do this, short of full system restores.

Cronguard addresses this issue by using a lightweight, open source bash script
client on your servers that monitors each installed crontab for updates and
changes. When it detects one, it sends a copy of the crontab to the Cronly
system and notifies your team of the change.



Ditto for newly created crontabs on your server:




INTRUSION DETECTION FOR CRONTABS

Going beyond crontab backups and restores, Cronguard also monitors the scripts
called from within your crontabs for signs of alteration.

Crontabs are a popular intrusion vector, either by altering the crontabs - say
by adding an entry to run an unauthorized command, or by altering an existing
command that is already in the crontab.

Cronguard will detect both conditions, and alert your team according to your
notifications profile.



This Video walks you through the process.

All premium Cronly users have Cronguard for one server included with their
account. Additional servers can be purchased for the same price as a job monitor
or managed job: $1/month or $10/year.
