File integrity review
Your First Line of Defense in Data Security.”
File Integrity Review, or File Integrity Monitoring (FIM), manages changes in OS, files/folders, and user access privileges, preventing privilege escalation and data compromise.
A typical FIM, working in real-time or non-real-time, uses an agent to compare the current state of files or OS with a baseline, providing forensic data for analysis. Examples of FIM solutions include proprietary ones like McAfee ePO FIM and open-source ones like Tripwire.
With evolving cyber threats and larger target areas due to more servers and data, a proactive approach is needed. Implementing a FIM can protect assets by alerting to unauthorized and suspicious events. FIM is recommended and mandated as an important internal control by various standards and Acts such as PCI, HIPAA, and NERC SIP, making it a crucial part of the cyber security posture.
