Jul 29, 2024

What is File Integrity Monitoring?


File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) is a category of cybersecurity technologies that monitors critical files and detects changes. While legacy tools were limited to monitoring system files, today's Next-Gen FIM tools can detect change to critical data wherever it exists, There are many use cases for File Integrity Monitoring in cybersecurity and IT teams.


Some of the most commonly recognized use cases include:

File Monitoring vs. File Integrity Monitoring

While legacy FIM provides only basic monitoring and alerts, Next-Gen File Integrity Monitoring solutions provide genuine integrity verification.

Integrity: The Missing FIM Ingredient

Integrity is the accuracy and completeness of data throughout its life cycle. No matter what service, device, or user accesses, stores, processes, transmits, or receives data, it must remain accurate and complete. This requires four essential integrity controls.

Maintain Integrity in Your IT Environment

Integrity assurance establishes a known, trusted, and authoritative baseline of what is allowed and then prevents, limits, or rolls back everything else. Whenever an unknown change occurs, it's managed by exception. Acceptable changes are added to the baseline, while dangerous changes are prevented.


Next-Gen FIM automates the integrity assurance loop, slashing "change noise" common with legacy FIM tools and enforcing integrity across IT environments and the full data lifecycle.
