DigitalOcean integration

Q: Is the DigitalOcean integration available yet?

Not yet — it is in active development. Add your email on this page and we will notify you the moment it ships. In the meantime you can already scan any DigitalOcean Droplet, IP, or Spaces endpoint in FortWatch by adding it as an asset manually.

Q: Does FortWatch need write access to my DigitalOcean account?

No. The integration uses a read-only token (or OAuth grant) scoped to inventory reads. FortWatch enumerates your public-facing resources to keep scan targets in sync and never creates, modifies, or deletes anything in your account.

Q: Does this replace DigitalOcean's own monitoring and Cloud Firewalls?

No — it complements them. DigitalOcean tells you how things are configured; FortWatch scans from the outside to show what is actually reachable from the internet, which is how you catch firewall rules that drifted, a database that ended up exposed, or a bucket that is more public than intended.

Cloud Providers

DigitalOcean is where a lot of lean teams actually run production — Droplets, Managed Kubernetes (DOKS), Managed Databases, and Spaces object storage, often spun up fast and rarely revisited. The FortWatch DigitalOcean integration (currently in development) will pull your live inventory from your DigitalOcean account so every public Droplet IP, Spaces bucket, and database endpoint is automatically in scope for continuous external scanning — no more manually keeping a target list in sync with infrastructure that changes weekly.

How it works

DigitalOcean + FortWatch

FortWatch will connect to DigitalOcean through its REST API (api.digitalocean.com/v2) using a read-only personal access token or OAuth grant, scoped to inventory reads only. On a schedule, FortWatch enumerates your Droplets and their public IPv4/IPv6 addresses, Reserved IPs, Load Balancers, Managed Database connection endpoints, DOKS node pools, and Spaces buckets, then adds each public-facing asset to your scan targets automatically. From there it is the same external-perspective scanning FortWatch runs on any asset — port exposure, unauthenticated databases, SSL/TLS posture, DNS hygiene, exposed files, and known-CVE components — except the target list now stays current as you create and destroy resources. FortWatch never modifies your DigitalOcean account; the token is read-only and used purely to keep inventory in sync. Findings stay in FortWatch, where AI triage assigns severity and remediation guidance.

FortWatch scans

Eleven scanners watch your external attack surface around the clock — ports, certs, DNS, cloud buckets, exposed files and more.

AI triages the finding

Each issue is scored by real-world impact and packaged with the affected asset and a one-line explanation of the risk.

Delivered to DigitalOcean

The finding lands in DigitalOcean, routed by severity — so the right people see the right alert, fast.

Capabilities

What you'll be able to do

Everything the DigitalOcean integration will bring to your security workflow.

Auto-discover attack surface

every new Droplet, Reserved IP, and Load Balancer is pulled from your DigitalOcean account and added to scanning, so nothing spun up at 2am goes unscanned.

Catch Spaces buckets left public

FortWatch checks your DigitalOcean Spaces (S3-compatible object storage) for world-readable ACLs and directory listing before someone else finds them.

Verify Cloud Firewall reality vs. intent

scan Droplet IPs from the outside to confirm only the ports you meant to expose are actually reachable — and flag a Managed Database or Redis that ended up internet-facing.

Track SSL/TLS on Load Balancers and Droplets

get ahead of expiring certificates and weak ciphers terminating on DigitalOcean Load Balancers or app servers.

Decommission cleanup

detect DNS records and subdomains still pointing at destroyed Droplets or Reserved IPs — classic dangling-record and subdomain-takeover risk.

Multi-project / team coverage

keep separate DigitalOcean teams and projects each mapped to their own FortWatch asset groups for MSPs and multi-environment setups.

In practice

What an alert looks like

Every finding arrives formatted for DigitalOcean — severity up front, the affected asset, and a one-line explanation of why it matters, with a link straight to the step-by-step fix.

Setup

Set it up in minutes, once it lands

No agents, no infrastructure changes — just connect DigitalOcean and choose where alerts go.

When it launches, open FortWatch → Settings → Integrations and select DigitalOcean.

Connect via OAuth, or paste a read-only DigitalOcean personal access token (inventory read scope only — FortWatch never makes changes).

Choose which DigitalOcean teams and projects to sync, and map them to FortWatch asset groups.

Set the inventory sync interval and confirm the discovered public assets — Droplets, Reserved IPs, Load Balancers, Spaces, and database endpoints.

Enable continuous scanning on the synced assets and route findings to your alert destinations (Slack, email, or ticketing).

Why route FortWatch into DigitalOcean?

Cloud infrastructure is the part of your attack surface that changes fastest and is hardest to keep a manual target list against — a Droplet created for a quick test or a Spaces bucket opened for a one-off share can outlive everyone's memory of it. Syncing FortWatch directly with your DigitalOcean inventory means new public assets are scanned the moment they appear, so exposed databases, public buckets, and forgotten Droplets get caught while they are still your problem to fix, not an attacker's opportunity.
