File integrity monitoring (FIM) detects changes to critical files including system, application, and configuration files. With closed-loop change control, IT Security and Compliance with CimTrak's FIM tool goes above and beyond monitoring changes to files allowing for a true security assessment. Windows Registry, Drivers, Installed software, Security Policies, Services, Network Share Files, Network Share configuration, Local Users / Groups, Active Directory / LDAP, Microsoft Exchange, Network Devices - Firewalls, Switches, Routers, Hypervisors - ESXi, HyperV, XenServer, and Databases -MSSQL, Oracle, MSQL, Maria DB, IBM DB2.

Organizations implement a File Integrity Monitoring solution for various reasons, like securing active directory and system files, data security, including zero-day attacks, and meeting the regulatory compliance standards or objectives with various regulations such as PCI-DSS,  HIPAA, SOX,  NERC,  FFIEC,  FISMA,  GDPR,  CMMC, CDM,  SWIFT and more.

File integrity monitoring (FIM) is a crucial security practice that involves monitoring and analyzing changes to critical files on a system to detect and prevent unauthorized modifications or access. By regularly scanning and comparing the current state of files against their known, trusted baseline, FIM tools can quickly identify any unauthorized changes, such as tampering or malware infection, and alert security teams to take necessary actions.
